据欧盟食品安全局消息，2月6日欧盟食品安全局就钯金属（palladium metal）和氢气（hydrogen gas）用作活性食品接触材料的安全性评估发表科学意见。
欧盟食品安全局认为，活性物质钯金属和氢气在室温或低于室温时用作食品饮料包装的氧气清除剂不会引起安全问题，而钯不应直接接触食品。
部分原文报道如下：
based on these previously drawn conclusions and given the intended conditions of use leading to non-detectable migration, the CEF Panel concluded that the active substances palladium and hydrogen do not raise a safety concern for the consumer when used as an oxygen scavenger in packages for foods and beverages at room temperatures or below. Palladium should not be in direct contact with food and should be incorporated in a passive structure impermeable to liquids which prevents the migration at detectable levels.
