Abstract
The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration (FVST) has asked DTU National Food Institute to assess:
• Whether there are new studies (since the two EFSA risk assessments in 2011 and 2012) indicating a need for new hazard assessments of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)? In addition, the relevance of setting a group-ADI should be addressed.
• Whether EFSA’s exposure assessments of BHA and BHT are conservative enough to not alter the risk managing of BHA and BHT as food additives in foods and additives to food contact materials?
• Whether the current risk managing of BHA and BHT is sufficient in regard to exposure from other sources?
