These 13 monographs represent a meeting of an advisory body to the International Programme on Chemical Safety held at WHO headquarters in June 2005, and are intended to be read in conjunction with Food and Nutrition Paper, No. 52, Addendum 13. Focusing on the safety of specific food additives, international contributors present biological, toxicological, clinical, and dietary data on such common additives as beeswax, phospholipase A1 (an enzyme), and flavorings including aromatic amines and amides. Papers based on proprietary reports are generally not referenced. Appendices include a list of previous meeting reports, recommendations on acceptable daily intakes and a minority opinion.
