Regulatory authorities have set limits on the use of monoglycerides in food products. For example, the FDA classifies monoglycerides as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS), meaning they can be used within specified amounts without special approval. Similarly, the EFSA has established acceptable daily intake (ADI) levels for monoglycerides, ensuring their safe consumption. These regulations are based on extensive toxicological assessments, including studies on their metabolism, toxicokinetics, and potential health effects.
