N2 - The Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids of the European
Food Safety Authority was requested to evaluate sodium diacetate [FL-no: 16.073] in the Flavouring
Group Evaluation 309, using the Procedure in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. However,
although in principle it would be possible to evaluate sodium diacetate via the Procedure, the Panel
considered that this is not necessary, since the substance and its dissociation products are covered by
the group ADI for acetic acid and sodium acetate, including sodium diacetate, derived by the
Scientific Committee on Food. Based on this group ADI, the use as sodium diacetate as a flavouring
substance at the current levels of dietary intake raises no safety concern.
