Gum karaya (GK), accepted as Generally Recognised as Safe (GRAS) in the USA since 1961, was accepted temporarily (Annex II) as a food additive by the EEC in 1974. Since then no adverse incident involving human health has been attributed to the ingestion of GK, which is used in extremely small amounts in foods. This report collates the evidence of safety now available and presents the data on Need, production tonnages and dietary intake levels.
刺梧桐树胶（GK）自1961年起在美国被公认为一般认为安全（GRAS），1974年被欧盟临时（附件二）批准为食品添加剂。从那时起，尚未有因摄入GK而导致的涉及人类健康的不良事件，GK在食品中的使用量极少。本报告整理了现有的安全证据，并提供了关于需求、生产吨位和膳食摄入量水平的数据。
