  • Title: Estimate of the maximal daily dietary intake of butylated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytoluene in The Netherlands.
    Author: Verhagen H, Deerenberg I, Marx A, ten Hoor F, Henderson PT, Kleinjans JC.
    Journal: Food Chem Toxicol; 1990 Apr; 28(4):215-20. PubMed ID: 2095750.
    Abstract:
    The daily dietary intake of the phenolic antioxidants butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and/or butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) was estimated using data obtained from a nationwide dietary record survey carried out in The Netherlands in 1987/1988. The estimates were based on the fat content of selected food categories and their respective maximum permitted levels of BHA and/or BHT. The results indicate that it is unlikely that the current acceptable daily intake for BHA (0-0.05 mg/kg body weight) is surpassed, even in individuals with an extremely high caloric intake, except in extreme cases in 1-6-year-olds. However, it cannot be excluded that the acceptable daily intake for BHT (FAO/WHO: 0-0.125 mg/kg; EEC: 0-0.05 mg/kg) is exceeded in all age and sex groups, but particularly in children aged 1-6 years.
