2019年10月30日，欧盟食品安全局（EFSA）发布硫酸及其钠盐、钾盐、钙盐和铵盐（E 513、514 （i）、514 （ii）、515 （i）、515 （ii）、516和517）作为食品添加剂安全性的评估结果。
欧盟食品添加剂和调味剂小组（FAF）提供了重新评估磷酸盐作为食品添加剂安全性的科学意见。经过评估，专家小组认为硫酸（E 513）、硫酸钠（E 514）、硫酸钾（E 515）、硫酸钙（E 516）和硫酸铵（E 517）作为食品添加剂在规定的用途和使用水平上不存在安全性问题，也不需要数字上的每日容许摄入量。
部分原文报道如下：
The Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings （FAF） provided a scientific opinion re‐evaluating the safety of sulphuric acid （E 513） and its sodium （E 514）， potassium （E 515）， calcium （E 516） and ammonium （E 517） salts when used as a food additive. The Panel considered that adequate exposure and toxicity data were available. Sulphuric acid and its sodium, potassium, calcium and ammonium salts （E 513, E 514, E 515, E 516, E 517） are authorised food additives in the EU, in accordance with Annex II and Annex III to Regulation （EC） No 1333/2008. In the refined estimated exposure non brand‐loyal scenario, mean exposure ranged from 0.4 mg sulphate/kg body weight （bw） per day in infants to 35 mg sulphate/kg bw per day in toddlers. The high percentile of exposure ranged from 3 mg sulphate/kg bw per day in adolescents to 68 mg sulphate/kg bw per day in toddlers. The Panel considered sulphates of low acute toxicity and there is no concern with respect to genotoxicity and carcinogenicity. The Panel noted that the exposure to sulphates at mean and 95th percentile in the non brand‐loyal scenario as well as in the other scenarios, is far below the 300 mg/kg a dose that induced laxative effect in humans. based on the toxicological database available, the Panel concluded that the exposure to sulphuric acid （E 513）， sodium sulphate （E 514）， potassium sulphates （E 515）， calcium sulphate （E 516） and ammonium sulphate （E 517） does not raise a safety concern at the reported uses and use levels and there is no need for a numerical acceptable daily intake （ADI）。
