Thirty foods assessed as being the likely major contributors to dietary preservative exposure were purchased,
prepared as normally consumed and analyzed for sulfite, sorbate and benzoate. The majority of preservative
concentrations (498%) were within maximum permitted levels (MPLs) specified in the Australia New Zealand
Food Standards Code. Mean population level estimates of dietary exposure were well below the respective
acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) for all age-gender groups for all preservatives at 7–27%, 1–4% and 1–8% of the
ADI for sulfites, sorbates and benzoates, respectively. All population level 95th percentile estimates of dietary
exposure were below the ADI, with the exception of estimates for sulfite exposure for 5–12-year-old boys.
The results of the current survey indicate that dietary exposure to the preservatives, sulfite, sorbate and benzoate,
represent a low level of public health risk. However, it should be noted that the exposure estimates determined in
the current survey will be influenced by the assumptions made.
