The National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA in Portuguese) has published Resolution – RDC No. 826/2023, which amends the Resolution of the Collegiate Council – RDC No. 778/2023, which establishes the general principles, technological functions and conditions for the use of food additives and technological aids in foods.

The maximum tolerable residual limit of ethylene oxide in food additives is established at 0.01 mg/kg, expressed in ethylene oxide and determined based on the sum of the amounts of ethylene oxide and 2-chloroethanol multiplied by 0. 55 (ethylene oxide + 2- chloroethanol x 0.55).
