Abstract:
An estimation of the intakes of 30 food additives in Finland was conducted combining analytical data, food balance sheets, import and export statistics. The results indicated that most calculated average food additive intakes were well below the ADI values and internationally at an acceptable level. The intakes of nitrates, nitrites, saccharin and cyclamates were above or close to the respective ADI values. More studies are planned on these substances in order to establish possible special risk groups.
