Is hydrogenated poly-1-decene harmful?
In 2020 EFSA set an ADI of 20 mg/kg body weight per day for E 907. Estimated intake at the maximum levels permitted by EU rules did not exceed the ADI in any population group, and EFSA concluded that this exposure does not raise a safety concern when the additive is used at the maximum permitted levels.
Is E907 permitted in Vietnam?
Yes. Hydrogenated poly-1-decene (INS 907) is listed in Appendix 1 of Circular 24/2019/TT-BYT, the list of additives permitted in food.
Can children and pregnant women have E907 (hydrogenated poly-1-decene)?
In 2020 EFSA estimated exposure to E907 at the maximum permitted levels: on average from none in infants (12 weeks–11 months) to 2.35 mg/kg body weight per day in toddlers (12–35 months); high consumers from 0 to 6.69 mg/kg in toddlers. EFSA noted that no population group exceeded the ADI of 20 mg/kg body weight per day. The source says nothing specific about pregnant women. If you have a particular health condition, ask a doctor.
