Results and discussion
- Results:
- Ammonium ions are normal metabolites in man. Although specific toxicological data for ammonium carbonate are limited, extrapolation of results from studies with ammonium compounds (primarily ammonium chloride) and with sodium or potassium carbonate provide a basis for evaluation. Clinical studies in man show that administration of high doses of ammonium chloride or of sodium bicarbonate results in changes in the acid-base balance. This is the normal physiological response.
The levels of ammonium carbonate in the diet from food additive use are extremely small compared to the levels required to cause physiological changes and pose no toxicological hazard.
On the basis of the available data (toxicological, biochemical, and other), the total daily intake of the substance, arising from its use or uses at the levels necessary to achieve the desired effect and from its acceptable background in food, does not, in the opinion of the Committee, represent a hazard to health. For this reason, and for the reasons stated in individual evaluations, the establishment of an acceptable daily intake (ADI) in mg/kg bw is not deemed necessary.
