                                The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded in 2017 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. This guidance helps answer how much pectin is safe to eat, though individual tolerance and form—whether from food or a supplement—play a crucial role in determining appropriate intake.
