Certainly, this is good news.

It is highly significant to witness our agency’s position on this matter and its endorsement of the CPCA calculation and the Enhanced Ames assay test.

Great job, ANVISA!

Thanks for sharing the guidance. The acceptable intake mentioned by ANVISA is NDMA: 9601 ng/day, MeNP: 40010 ng/day. However, in other guidelines, NDMA is 96 ng/day and MeNP is 400 ng/day.

Check the original documents when reviewing the translation. Those additional numbers are the footnotes. Be careful!

Thanks for observation.

As per the original documents, NDMA is 96.0 ng/day and MeNP 400 ng/day.

During translation, superscript is converted into the value. Please refer original.

I was not able to find it (in ANVISA web´s page v03 still appearing and links pertained to update up to v04 requires login)

Dear @Naiffer_Host thank you for sharing about the update!

It caught my attention that the limit for NMPA is 34,3 ng/d, based on the harmonic mean of results published in Carcinogenicity Potency Database. Meanwhile the EMA limit for NMPA is 100 ng/d. EMA’s appendix 1 does not provide any explanation but the limit is consistent with CPCA (0+3 hydrogens, no other features).

Do you think EMA may tighten the limit for NMPA, taking into account that 34,3 ng/d is grounded in experimental results?

Best regards,
Marcin
