Application for the extension of use of the food additive glycolipids (E 246)

The EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF Panel) provides a scientific opinion on the safety evaluation of a proposed extension of use of the food additive glycolipids (E 246) with respect to several food categories in addition to the uses already permitted in accordance with Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008. The application for the initial authorisation of the food additive glycolipids was evaluated by the Panel in 2021 when an acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 10 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day applicable to glycolipids from Dacryopinax spathularia was established.
