(21)The Authority considered glycyrrhizic acid and its ammoniated form in the opinion adopted on 22 May 2008 17 . The Authority agreed with the evaluation by the SCF 18 , which considered that the intake up to 100 mg/person/day would not give rise to safety concerns. Therefore, specific conditions of use should be set for glycyrrhizic acid (FL 16.012) and its ammoniated form (FL 16.060) as flavouring substances.
