Migration studies of a food packaging additive to be used in a polymer coated paper into food simulating solvents provided the following results (in ppm): M10% Ethanol = 0.10 M50% Ethanol = 0.25 Mfatty= 10.0 ppm. Estimate (Hint – Don’t change units…ppm is fine – just plug and chug).Recall: = (faqueous + facid) x M10% ethanol + falcohol x M50% ethanol + ffatty x Mfattyand DC = CF x a. Dietary Concentration, DC (see tables) b. EDI (assume 3kg food/person/day) if the additive is to be used in polymer coated paper (be sure to show work and units. HINT ppm = mg Additive/kg food). Recall EDI = Daily Intake x DC c. Would you recommend relying on TOR exemption based on your data? Why or why not?
