据欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）消息，应欧委会要求，近日欧盟食品安全局对甜菜碱（betaine）作为新资源食品的安全性发布意见。
欧盟专家组认为，关于这种食品的组分、规格、批次差异性与稳定性信息充足，无安全风险。
甜菜碱拟用于10岁以上的运动员，用途为提升肌肉力量，提议最大摄入量为每天2.5g。欧盟专家组经过风险评估后认为，按照每天400mg摄入量，不会产生安全风险。
部分原文报道如下：
Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies （NDA） was asked to deliver an opinion on betaine as a novel food （NF） pursuant to Regulation （EC） No 258/97. The information provided on the composition, the specifications, the batch-to-batch variability, stability and production process of the NF is sufficient and does not raise concerns about the safety of the NF. The NF is proposed to be used in foods intended to meet additional requirements for intense muscular effort with a maximum intake of 2.5 g/day of betaine for sports people above 10 years of age.
