General standard for food additives.

This General standard for food additives sets forth the conditions under which food additives may be used in all foods, whether or not they have previously been standardized by Code.

a) Food additive means any substance not normally consumed as a food by itself and not normally used as a typical ingredient of the food, whether or not it has nutritive value, the intentional addition of which to food for a technological (including organoleptic) purpose in the manufacture, processing, preparation, treatment, packing, packaging, transport or holding of such food results, or may be reasonably expected to result (directly or indirectly), in it or its by-products becoming a component of or otherwise affecting the characteristics of such foods. The term does not include contaminants or substances added to food for maintaining or improving nutritional qualities.

b) Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) is an estimate by JECFA of the amount of a food additive, expressed on a body weight basis that can be ingested daily over a lifetime without appreciable health risk. c) Acceptable Daily Intake "Not Specified" (NS) is a term applicable to a food substance of very low toxicity for which, on the basis of the available data (chemical, biochemical, toxicological, and other), the total dietary intake of the substance, arising from its use at the levels necessary to achieve the desired effect and from its acceptable background levels in food, does not, in the opinion of JECFA, represent a hazard to health. For the above reason, and for reasons stated in individual JECFA evaluations, establishment of an acceptable daily intake expressed in numerical form is not deemed necessary by JECFA. An additive meeting the above criterion must be used within the bounds of good manufacturing practice as defined. d) Maximum Use Level of an additive is the highest concentration of the additive determined to be functionally effective in a food or food category and agreed to be safe by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. It is generally expressed as mg additive/kg of food. The maximum use level will not usually correspond to the optimum, recommended, or typical level of use. Under GMP, the optimum, recommended, or typical use level will differ for each application of an additive and is dependent on the intended technical effect and the specific food in which the additive would be used, taking into account the type of raw material, food processing and post-manufacture storage, transport and handling by distributors, retailers, and consumers.

Finally got around to drawing one of the ponies I've made on ponytown! This is a fairly recent one. As you can see her name is Poison Petal, and she's a toxicologist :)

She currently lives in ponyville and is dedicated to researching antidotes for all the venoms and poisons found in the Everfree forest

Toxicology is toxic ☠️

A Treatise on Adulterations of Food and Culinary Poisons by Frederick Accum, 1820.

This book was written by a famous English chemist and was an immediate success when it was first published and was into its fourth edition in only two years… but food adulteration statistics didn’t go down and Accum started to panic that instead of preventing it, he’d taught even more people how to do it, and he started vandalizing his own book in libraries and was forced to leave the country in disgrace.

Calling all science students and enthusiasts!!

I would absolutely love to have a science-revolving passion project and I’ve narrowed it down to a blog/blog-type-website. I love learning about science but so rarely take the time to actually research the things that interest me. With being a high school student, exams and life this is quite a big task to handle for 1 person and I’d love others to contribute to this!

This is by no means a set plan yet, I’m just sharing a rough idea, so if you could please interact with this post or dm me if you would be interested in something of this kind. Even if you see this 5 months after this was posted (and hopefully a working project or at least WIP) still reach out if you’re interested.

You don’t have to be a great writer for this either nor fascinated about each and every science. My favourite is chemistry, but it would be nice if this project could incorporate the 3 main branches of science: biology, chemistry and physics. It depends on if people would be interested in reading something like this or participating in, and their preferred subjects. You could write about astronomy as a whole, or go into chemistry and analysing electronic configuration, talking about your favourite dinosaur bones in palaeontology, a passive behaviour analysis in psychology, or explaining how exactly scabs work in biology. These would probably be short to mid-length entries and 1/2 times a month.

But this is just my idea and how far I’ve gone with it, feedback is appreciated, there will be more updates to come (not too many until afer my exams in May tho), and I appreciate any reblogs to share this idea with others!

Hopefully a couple people would like to help out in this project and please ask questions if you have any (as a dm or ask) ^^

literally just found out atroquinine isn't a real poison. after self-studying toxicology for three days.

all because i found atroquinine interesting. then i searched it after a while and found out IT'S NOT REAL.

i plucked the fruit of the forbidden tree, tempted by the serpent with its atroquinine-laced fangs, and paid the price.

Having a working knowledge of a lot of poisons/toxins is both interesting and ruins the fantasy/cool element of so many books and movies. We learn a lot of them in vet med because we have to identify and treat them in our animals, so when they start talking about poisons and antidotes...

No, there is not an antidote for every poison. There's really not a specific antidote for most poisons we deal with

The side effects they depict for the named poison/drug often belong to another one, they just picked one for dramatic effect

I am banned by friends from ruining the movie magic with my pesky facts

Bonus: the anime Apothecary Diaries is actually very spot on with its drugs and poisons it talks about! That one has been fun to watch with my background

Going down the rabbit hole of mercury poisoning and archaeological toxicology in South America has me losing my mind. I'm overwhelmed and out of my league but it feels like all the pieces are fitting into place and they're all bad and I can't stop now.
