In EFSA ANS Panel (2017), the highest dietary exposure to modified starches E 1404‐1451 for the population above 16 weeks was 3,053 mg/kg bw per day (toddlers, brand‐loyal refined exposure assessment scenario). Therefore, the dietary exposure to E 1450 (see Table 6) for this population group was considered in the current assessment.
