食品伙伴网讯   据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，5月3日欧盟食品安全局就植物油等食品加工过程中产生的甘油基污染物对人构成的风险发布意见。

　　棕榈油等植物油在高温加工过程中会产生缩水甘油脂肪酸酯类物质（GE）、3氯丙二醇（3-MCPD）、和2氯丙二醇（2-MCPD）等有害物质，欧盟食品安全局分别进行了风险评估。

　　欧盟食品安全局认为，缩水甘油脂类具有致癌性，因此不制定安全限量；3-MCPD、2-MCPD的毒理学数据较少，尚不能制定安全限量。

　　部分原文报道如下：

　　Glycerol-based process contaminants found in palm oil, but also in other vegetable oils, margarines and some processed foods, raise potential health concerns for average consumers of these foods in all young age groups, and for high consumers in all age groups.

　　EFSA assessed the risks for public health of the substances: glycidyl fatty acid esters (GE), 3-monochloropropanediol (3-MCPD), and 2-monochloropropanediol (2-MCPD) and their fatty acid esters. The substances form during food processing, in particular, when refining vegetable oils at high temperatures (approx. 200°C).
