Their aim was to provide a useful, evidence-based point of reference about PO. Scientific evidence about the role of PO in food safety, nutrition and sustainability was analyzed. Main conclusions were: (1) RSPO foundation responded to the environmental impact of palm crops. The Amsterdam Declaration pursues the use of 100% sustainable PO in Europe by 2020. Awareness about choosing sustainable products will help to maintain local economies and environments in the producing countries; (2) evidence shows that a moderate intake of PO within a healthy diet presents no risks for health. No evidence justifies any change fat intake recommendations; (3) food industry is interested in assuring safe, sustainable and high-quality products. The use of certified sustainable PO is increasing; and (4) there is no evidence associating PO consumption and higher cancer risk, incidence or mortality in humans. Tolerable daily intake (TDI) for toxic contaminants (2-and 3-monochloropropanediols (MCPDs), glycidyl esters (GEs)) have been established by JECFA and EFSA. Consequently, the European Commission has modified the Contaminants Regulation for GEs and it is still working on 3-MCPDs 2020-10-29T08:34:44Z 2020-10-29T08:34:44Z 2019-08-26 2020-10-29T08:34:44Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 2072-6643 https://hdl.handle.net/2445/171523 704058 31454938 eng Reproducció del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.3390/nu11092008 Nutrients, 2019, vol. 11, num. 9, p. 2008 https://doi.org/10.3390/nu11092008 cc-by (c) Gesteiro, Eva et al., 2019 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess application/pdf MDPI Articles publicats en revistes (Nutrició, Ciències de l'Alimentació i Gastronomia)
