In a European Food and Safety Authority (EFSA) technical report, additional data confirms the product Ferrazone XF is readily soluble, removing concerns over the presence of insoluble/persistent particles.
“Based on the additional information received, EFSA considers that exposure to small, insoluble and potentially biopersistent particles of ferric sodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) including nanoparticles, resulting from its consumption is unlikely.
“Therefore, the additional information provided by the applicant satisfactorily addresses the uncertainties identified in the previous opinion by the EFSA Panel, with regard to the particle size and the potential presence of nanoparticles.
The decision comes as EFSA adopted the scientific opinion on the evaluation of authorised ferric sodium EDTA as a Novel Food (NF) ingredient back in June 2018.
At the time, EFSA confirmed that ferric sodium EDTA was a source from which iron is bioavailable.
In this latest report, the Authority noted the previous decision made for ferric sodium EDTA (marketed as Ferrazone) would have no bearing on its judgement of AkzoNobel’s latest product Ferrazone XF.
This product is judged to be of a finer consistency, produced by adding an extra grinding step to the manufacturing process.
EFSA notes that particle size was not one of the proposed parameters for the revised specifications.
They also note that it was not possible to determine whether particles of ferric sodium EDTA in the nano range were present in solid Ferrazone XF.
