Food and Nutrition Board set a tolerable upper level for adults of 100 mg per day (Institute of Medicine, 1998) the European Union (Scientific Committee on Food, 2000) set 25 mg per day. 

For these reasons the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) considered that the tumours in the rat bladder were not relevant to humans. Both JECFA and the European Union Scientific Committee on Food concluded that saccharin was not a hazard and approved it for use. Similarly the FDA withdrew their proposal to ban saccharin in 1991.

A European Union (EU) risk assessment of di-2-ethylhexylphthalate (DEHP) underestimated the substance s potential damage to the environment, the commission s scientific committee on toxicology (CSTEE) says. The study was completed by a team of Swedish scientists in September 2001 for the European Commission (EC). The Swedish scientists had recommended in September that no measures were required to reduce the risk of pollution from DEHP. But CSTEE will begin a new round of research shortly, as part of a review of the scientists assessment, to determine the extent of environmental risks posed by DEHP. CSTEE says that in many cases there is a need for...

The control of food additives has been much discussed in newspapers and other parts of the media and yet, rather surprisingly, there have been few scientific books about additives. There have been detailed reports of the work of expert committees such as the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (e.g. WHO, 2000) and informative commentaries on individual additives and legislative controls, notably those in the European Union (EU) (e.g. Leatherhead Food Research Association, 2000). There have also been articles on work to harmonise worldwide control of additives (Keefe et al., 2000).
