Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Results and discussion
- Results:
- Anticipated daily intake: 7.8 mg/day/adult
There is no information on human toxicity available. However, the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additive (JECFA) considers it unnecessary to assign an acceptable daily intake (ADI) as triacetin is metabolized like other triglycerides in food. In an assessment of triacetin, JECFA concluded that based on the available data, and anticipated daily intake, triacetin did not represent a hazard to health (JECFA, 1975) and in a more recent evaluation, the EU’s Scientific Committee for Food endorsed this position for triacetin (Commission, 1992, SCF, 1995). An estimate of additive intake in the UK suggests that an adult might ingest 7.8 mg triacetin/day as part of a total daily additive intake of 8.0 g (MAFF, 1993).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
