Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on 3-fucosyllactose (3-FL) as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The NF is mainly composed of the human-identical milk oligosaccharide (HiMO) 3-FL, but it also contains d-lactose, l-fucose, d-glucose and d-galactose, and a small fraction of other related saccharides. The NF is produced by fermentation with a genetically modified strain of BL21 (DE3). The information provided on the manufacturing process, composition and specifications of the NF does not raise safety concerns. The applicant intends to add the NF to a variety of foods, including infant formula and follow-on formula, food for infants and young children, food for special medical purposes and food supplements. The target population is the general population. The anticipated daily intake of 3-FL from both proposed and combined (authorised and proposed) uses at their respective maximum use levels in all population categories does not exceed the highest intake level of 3-FL from human milk in infants on a body weight basis. The intake of 3-FL in breastfed infants on a body weight basis is expected to be safe also for other population groups. The intake of other carbohydrate-type compounds structurally related to 3-FL is also considered of no safety concern. Food supplements are not intended to be used if other foods with added 3-FL or human milk are consumed on the same day. The Panel concludes that the NF is safe under the proposed conditions of use.
应欧盟委员会的要求，欧洲食品安全局营养、新型食品和食品过敏原小组（NDA）被要求根据欧盟法规（EU）2015/2283就3-岩藻糖基乳糖（3-FL）作为新型食品（NF）发表意见。该新型食品主要由与人乳相同的低聚糖（HiMO）3-FL组成，但也含有d-乳糖、l-岩藻糖、d-葡萄糖和d-半乳糖，以及一小部分其他相关糖类。该新型食品是通过用基因改造的BL21（DE3）菌株发酵生产的。所提供的关于该新型食品生产工艺、成分和规格的信息不存在安全问题。申请人打算将该新型食品添加到多种食品中，包括婴儿配方奶粉和后续配方奶粉、婴幼儿食品、特殊医学用途食品和食品补充剂。目标人群为普通人群。在所有人群类别中，按照各自最大使用量，来自提议用途以及组合用途（已批准和提议用途）的3-FL预期每日摄入量按体重计算不超过婴儿从母乳中摄入3-FL的最高摄入量。按体重计算，母乳喂养婴儿摄入3-FL对其他人群组也预计是安全的。与3-FL结构相关的其他碳水化合物类化合物的摄入也被认为不存在安全问题。如果同一天食用了添加3-FL的其他食品或母乳，则不打算使用食品补充剂。该小组得出结论，在所提议的使用条件下，该新型食品是安全的。
