“…28 Similar data were published for the AAF Sineall (Humana, Milan, Italy) 29 and Novalac (United Pharmaceuticals, Paris, France). 30,31 All these studies used Neocate as a validated reference product in diagnostic challenges and/ or in the treatment phases. Many other AAF formulations are commercially available worldwide, only a minority of which have been studied for hypoallergenicity.…”

Objectives: Infants with cow's milk allergy (CMA) are in need of a substitute formula up to 2 years. The are three requisites for a substitute of milk in CMA: tolerability, nutritional adequacy, and cost-effectiveness. We evaluate here the tolerability of a new amino acid-based infant formula for the management of CMA. Methods: In a phase III/IV prospective, multicentre, open-label, international study, infants and children with immunoglobulin E-mediated CMA were exposed to a diagnostic double-blinded, placebo-controlled food challenge with a new amino acid formula by Blemil Plus Elemental using Neocate as the placebo. If tolerant to it, the study formula was integrated into the patients' usual daily diet for 7 days. Efficacy on day 7 was assessed in terms of symptoms associated with CMA, amount of formula consumed, nutritional and energy intake, and anthropometric data. Results: Thirty children (17 M and 13 F; median age, 1.58; range, 0.08-12.83 years) completed the open challenge and were able to consume the study formula for at least 7 days. No signs or symptoms of allergic reactions were recorded among children assuming either the test or the control formula, with a lower 95% one-sided confidence interval for the proportion of subjects who did not experience allergic reactions above 90%. Sixteen patient under the age of two continued with the optional extension phase. Conclusions: The study formula meets the American Academy of Pediatric criteria for hypoallergenicity and is well tolerated in short-term use. During optional phase, growth of the patients was not hindered by the study formula.

“…They are also indicated in case of allergic reaction to eHF. Unlike similar studies 30,31 we did not select children with severe forms of CMA allergic to eHFs, which is a clear limitation. Another limitation of our study is the lack of a control group, fed an eHF or a different AAF.…”

“…In another study, data suggested that hypoallergenic (AAFs) formulas improved the gut barrier function and minimized gastrointestinal complications in atopic infants (14). Similarly, when fed an AAF, infants with CMPA with multiple food allergies demonstrated reduced allergic symptoms and normal growth (15,21,22). The results in the present study indicated that longer-term feeding of an AAF in infants with poorly managed CMPA, improved long-term allergy management.…”

“…Furthermore, in a prospective, multicentre, double-blind randomised control trial (Dupont et al, 2014(Dupont et al, , 2015, the addition of pectin (0.5 g/100 mL) to amino-acid based formulae (thickened aminoacid-based formula (TAAF)) for children (n = 75) allergic to cow's milk and intolerant to extensively hydrolysed milk proteins, was studied. A commercially available 'reference' amino-acid based formula (RAAF) served as a reference.…”

Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient sources added to Food (ANS) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the re-evaluation of pectin (E 440i) and amidated pectin (E 440ii) as food additives. An acceptable daily intake (ADI) 'not specified' was allocated by the Scientific Committee for Food (SCF) for E 440i and E 440ii. Pectin and amidated pectin would not be absorbed intact, but extensively fermented by intestinal microbiota in animals and humans; products formed from pectins in the gastrointestinal tract are similar to manufactured pectin-derived acidic oligosaccharides (pAOS). There is no indication of genotoxicity for pectin and amidated pectin, although the available data were limited. No adverse effects were reported in a chronic toxicity study in rats at levels up to 5,000 mg pectin/kg bw per day, the highest dose tested. No treatment-related effects were observed in a dietary one-generation reproductive toxicity study with pAOS in rats at up to 6,200 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day, the highest dose tested. The Panel did not consider E 440i and E 440ii as having allergenic potential. A dose of 36 g/day (equivalent to 515 mg/kg bw per day) for 6 weeks in humans was without adverse effects. Exposure to pectins from their use as food additives ranged up to 442 mg/kg bw per day for toddlers at the 95th percentile (brand-loyal scenario). The Panel concluded that there is no safety concern for the use of pectin (E 440i) and amidated pectin (E 440ii) as food additives for the general population and that there is no need for a numerical ADI.
