Shipping of edible fats and oils into Europe is permitted in bulk tanks, provided that the previous cargo is included in a positive list. The European Commission requested EFSA to evaluate the acceptability as previous cargoes for fats and oils the substances calcium lignosulphonate, methyl acetate, ethyl -butyl ether (ETBE) and ammonium sulphate. The evaluation was based on the same criteria as those used for the evaluation of the substances currently on the list in the Annex to Commission Directive 96/3/EC as acceptable previous cargoes for edible fats and oils. Methyl acetate and ETBE meet the criteria for acceptability as previous cargoes. Due to uncertainties, mainly with regard to the composition and toxicity of the low molecular mass fraction, and the fact that the toxicological database is limited to the 40-65 grade and does not cover all grades of calcium lignosulphonate shipped as previous cargoes, the EFSA Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM Panel) concluded that calcium lignosulphonate does not meet the criteria for acceptability as a previous cargo. Only food-grade ammonium sulphate meets the criteria for acceptability as a previous cargo due to uncertainties about impurities in other (non-food) grades.
食用油脂以散装罐形式运往欧洲是允许的,前提是前一批货物包含在一份正面清单中。欧盟委员会要求欧洲食品安全局评估木质素磺酸钙、乙酸甲酯、乙基叔丁基醚(ETBE)和硫酸铵作为油脂前一批货物的可接受性。该评估基于与用于评估欧盟委员会指令96/3/EC附件中目前列入清单的物质作为食用油脂可接受前一批货物所使用的相同标准。乙酸甲酯和ETBE符合作为前一批货物的可接受标准。由于存在不确定性,主要涉及低分子质量部分的组成和毒性,以及毒理学数据库仅限于40 - 65级且未涵盖作为前一批货物运输的所有等级的木质素磺酸钙这一事实,欧洲食品安全局食物链污染物小组(CONTAM小组)得出结论,木质素磺酸钙不符合作为前一批货物的可接受标准。由于其他(非食品)等级中杂质存在不确定性,只有食品级硫酸铵符合作为前一批货物的可接受标准。
