    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Erythrosine (FD & C Red No. 3), a food colorant, affects the thyroid. Establishing an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) using data-derived safety factors suggests human studies provide the most appropriate ADI value.

    Food additives and contaminants·1993

    Area of Science:

    • Food toxicology
    • Risk assessment
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Erythrosine (FD & C Red No. 3) is an iodine-containing food colorant.
    • Its thyroid effects and mechanism are central to establishing an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI).
    • Evaluations by JECFA and SCF considered erythrosine as a secondary tumorigenic agent.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To apply a proposed approach of data-derived safety factors for determining the ADI of erythrosine.
    • To evaluate different methods for establishing an ADI based on toxicological data.

    Main Methods:

    • A decision tree scheme was used, examining three possibilities for ADI calculation.
    • These included approaches based on long-term rat data, rat hormone data, and human hormonal changes (NOEL).

    Main Results:

    • Three different ADI values were derived: 0.25, 0.3, and 0.1 mg/kg body weight.
    • The ADI derived from human studies (NOEL for hormonal changes) was deemed most appropriate.

    Conclusions:

    • The ADI based on human NOEL data is the most suitable.
    • Further human pharmacokinetic studies are recommended to reduce uncertainty regarding default values.
