| description | This scientific opinion of EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids deals with the safety evaluation of the additive 1,3,5-tris(2,2-dimethylpropanamido)benzene with the CAS No. 745070-61-5, the Ref. No 95420, the FCM Substance No 784, for use as a nucleating agent/clarifier at a maximum use level of 250 mg/kg in polyprolylene (PP). Final articles are intended to be used in contact with all type of foods for short term contact (1 hour) at temperatures up to 100 ºC and/or for long term storage at ambient temperature or below. Specific migration of the substance into 3 % acetic acid, 10 % ethanol and olive oil, was measured to be up to 48 µg/kg, 79 µg/kg and 94 µg/kg, respectively. In vitro and in vivo genotoxicity tests showed no evidence for a genotoxic potential of the substance. A 90-day dietary toxicity study in Wistar rats showed no effects at any dose and the NOAEL was considered to be 961 mg/kg bw/day in males and 1104 mg/kg bw/day in females or higher. Therefore, the CEF Panel concluded that the substance 1,3,5-tris(2,2-dimethylpropanamido)benzene does not raise a safety concern for the consumer if it is used in polyolefins and the migration does not exceed 5 mg/kg food. |
