    2023年6月12日，據歐盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，歐盟營(yíng)養、新型食品和食物過(guò)敏源（NDA）研究小組就一種6"-唾液乳糖鈉鹽（6′-sialyllactose (6’-SL) sodium salt）作為新型食品的安全性發(fā)表科學(xué)意見(jiàn)。

據了解，該6"-唾液乳糖鈉鹽是由大腸桿菌NEO6生產(chǎn)的。經(jīng)過(guò)評估，專(zhuān)家小組得出結論，在提議的使用條件下，6"-唾液乳糖鈉鹽作為新型食品是安全的。部分原文報道如下：

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 6′-sialyllactose (6′-SL) sodium salt as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The NF is mainly composed of the human-identical milk oligosaccharide (HiMO) 6′-SL (sodium salt), but it also contains sialic acid, d-glucose, d-lactose, 6′-sialyllactulose sodium salt, 3′-sialyllactose (3′-SL) sodium salt and a small fraction of other related saccharides. The NF is produced by fermentation by a genetically modified strain (Escherichia coli NEO6) of E. coli W (ATCC 9637). The information provided on the identity, 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 special medical purposes and food supplements (FS). The target population is the general population. The applicant applies for the same uses and use levels already assessed for 6′-SL sodium salt produced by fermentation by a genetically modified strain of E. coli K-12 DH1. Therefore, since the NF would be consumed at the same extent as the already assessed 6′-SL sodium salt, no new estimates of the intake have been carried out. Similarly, FS are not intended to be used if other foods with added 6′-SL or human milk are consumed on the same day. The Panel concludes that the NF is safe under the proposed conditions of use.
