The Committee concluded that the intakes of NVP from food additive uses of PVP and PVPP
do not give cause for concern. The use of PVP in dietary supplements and of PVPP as a
processing aid for beer and wine remain acceptable, provided the existing specifications for
PVP and PVPP are amended to the currently proposed limit for NVP residues of 10 mg/kg
PVP or PVPP. In order to ensure this, the Committee recommends that this specification be
adopted for PVP and PVPP used in food. The Committee notes that the manufacturer
supplying the European Union market currently meets such a specification.
