In terms of derivatives from ESBO (e.g. chlorohydrins, cyclic compounds), it is difficult to
provide an adequate exposure assessment from baby foods due to the uncertainties in
measurements (data points insufficient) or in estimation (number of assumptions). Assuming
2.5 mg of derivatives /kg food, as extrapolated from the model system studies, and assuming
an exclusive intake of commercial infant foods corresponding to 680 g food (i.e. 2 meals,
each with a main dish of 220 g and a dessert of 120 g of commercial infant food) and an
average 8.5 kg circa 9-month infant, would lead to an exposure of 0.2 mg ESBO
derivatives/kg bodyweight. Similarly, this exposure value can also be reached considering a
6-month old infant of about 7.5 kg with a 600 g commercial infant food intake.
