Which market this reads

What this check reads: European Union. No other market is covered.

Reads Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, Regulation (EU) No 231/2012, Regulation (EU) No 257/2010, EFSA FAF Panel re-evaluation opinions, and BfR thermal stability communications.

What it does

Evaluates food additive authorizations, thermal degradation risks (sucralose >120°C in FC 07.2), ADI dietary exposure utilization, purity criteria, and MIXTOX cumulative hazard index against EFSA OpenFoodTox 3.0.

Ask it like this

you
Evaluate recipe formulation containing Sucralose (E955) at 700 mg/kg in fine bakery wares (FC 07.2) baked at 175°C under EFSA OpenFoodTox 3.0 rules.
