Questions about acetylated distarch adipate
Is acetylated distarch adipate harmful?
In 2017 EFSA re-evaluated 12 modified starches, including E1422. It concluded that there is no safety concern at the reported uses and use levels for the general population and no need for a numerical ADI. At the 95th percentile (brand-loyal scenario), combined intake of E1404–E1451 was up to 3,053 mg/kg body weight a day, in toddlers.
Is E1422 permitted in Vietnam?
Yes. Acetylated distarch adipate (INS 1422) is listed in Appendix 1 of Circular 24/2019/TT-BYT, the list of additives permitted in food.
Can children and pregnant women have modified starch E1422?
In the EU, E1422 is on the list of additives permitted in processed cereal-based foods and baby foods (point 13.1.3, Annex II Part E of Regulation (EC) 1333/2008), at up to 50,000 mg/kg and only for these foods. The regulation has nothing specific on pregnant women. If you have a particular health condition, ask a doctor.
