據(jù)歐盟食品安全局消息,，2月6日歐盟食品安全局就鈀金屬（palladium metal）和氫氣（hydrogen gas）用作活性食品接觸材料的安全性評估發(fā)表科學(xué)意見,。
歐盟食品安全局認(rèn)為，活性物質(zhì)鈀金屬和氫氣在室溫或低于室溫時用作食品飲料包裝的氧氣清除劑不會引起安全問題,，而鈀不應(yīng)直接接觸食品,。
部分原文報道如下： 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.
