The Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF) was requested by the European Commission to provide a scientific opinion regarding the re-evaluation of Citric Acid Ester of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E 472a), lactic acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E 472b), citric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E 472c), tartaric acid esters. According to Annex II and Annex III of Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 on food additives, esters of mono and diglycerides of fatty acids (E 472a-f) are all permitted food additives in the European Union (EU), and specifications have been established by Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012.
The current opinion focuses on the re-evaluation of the following compounds: mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E 472a), lactic acid esters of such compounds (E 472b), citric acid esters of such compounds (E 472c), tartaric acid esters of such compounds (E 472d), mono- and diacetyltartaric acid esters of such compounds (E 472e), and mixed acetic and tartaric acid esters
