欧盟就16周以下婴儿食品内成分的风险评估发布指导意见草案

    欧盟食品安全局分别对婴儿配方食品的暴露风险、婴儿器官发育知识、婴儿食品成分的毒理学特性、动物模型新生儿试验的相关性进行了评估。欧盟食品安全局专家组认为，16周以下的婴儿需专门捕食母乳和/或配方奶粉。

    部分原文报道如下：

    Following a request from the European Commission to the European Food Safety Authority （EFSA），EFSA's Scientific Committee （SC） prepared a guidance for the risk assessment of substances present in food intended for infants below 16 weeks of age. In its approach to develop this guidance, the EFSA SC took into account, among others, （i） an exposure assessment based on infant formula as the only source of nutrition; （ii） knowledge of organ development in human infants, including the development of the gut, metabolic and excretory capacities, the brain and brain barriers, the immune  system, the endocrine and reproductive systems; （iii） the overall toxicological profile of the substance identified through the standard toxicological tests, including critical effects; （iv） the relevance for the human infant of the neonatal experimental animal models used.
