This volume contains monographs prepared at the eighty-fourth meeting of
the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), which met
in Rome, Italy, from 6 to 15 June 2017. The toxicological and dietary
exposure monographs in this volume summarize the safety and/or dietary
exposure data on eight specific food additives: Brilliant Blue FC;
ß-carotene-rich extract from Dunaliella salina; Fast Green FCF; Gum
ghatti; Jagua (Genipin-Glycine) Blue; metatartaric acid; tamarind seed
polysaccharide; and yeast extracts containing mannoproteins.
This volume and others in the WHO Food Additives series contain
information that is useful to those who produce and use food additives
and veterinary drugs or are involved with controlling contaminants in
food; government and food regulatory officers; industrial testing
laboratories; toxicological laboratories; and universities.
