Frequently asked questions
- Is polydextrose safe during pregnancy?
- Authoritative safety reviews and regulatory assessments of polydextrose (E 1200) report no reproductive or teratogenic findings in available animal studies or multigenerational studies; EFSA and older reviews found no adverse effects on reproductive performance, and U.S. FDA recognises polydextrose as a food additive. No harmonised CLP classification or SCCS/CIR reproductive safety concerns were identified.
- Is polydextrose safe while breastfeeding?
- No evidence from peer‑reviewed studies or regulatory evaluations indicates reproductive/developmental toxicity or lactation-specific hazards for polydextrose; safety evaluations and animal studies did not report effects relevant to breastfeeding exposure.
- Is polydextrose safe for baby skin?
- No infant‑specific hazard data indicate developmental toxicity; feeding/infant formula animal models showed no adverse effects. Dermal/topical absorption data for polydextrose are limited but as a high‑MW, hydrophilic polymer it is expected to have negligible dermal absorption in adults (so adult exposure score 0); per your instruction, baby skin exposure is increased by +1 (e=1) because infant skin has higher absorption potential even though no infant dermal toxicity evidence exists.
