The EU Scientific Committee for Food (SCF)evaluated melamine in 1987 the tolerabledaily intake (TDI) for melamine wasestablished at 0.5 mg/kg bodyweight/day This values leads to currently SML of 30mg/kg food using the conventional procedureof the EU Commission taking in considerationa ‘standard EU citizen’ with a bodyweight of60 kg consuming 1 kg food/day.
Overseas surveys conducted by United KingdomFood Standards Agency (UKFSA) in 2004 and 2008reported melamine migration was below limits. 15 different items of kitchenware were testedfor migration into 3% acetic acid which was usedas the most aggressive food simulants towardsmelamine plastic. Most of the articles were tested at 70°C underrepeated-use conditions. Melamine was confirmed to migrate into theacetic acid simulant from 43 of the 50 surveysamples. None of the samples exceeded the SML of30 mg/kg (equivalent to 5 mg/dm 2 ).
