                                According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), while the intake of HMF from most foods is not a concern, the safety margins can be narrow, depending on consumption levels. The term "HMF powder" can refer to several different substances, including 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and Human Milk Fortifier, each with distinct side effects and safety profiles.
