11月13日欧盟食品安全局就乳糖-N-新四糖（lacto-N-neotetraose）和2'-O-岩藻糖基乳糖（2'-O-fucosyllactose）作为新型食品配料用于儿童食品补充剂的安全性发布意见。

     专家组经评估认为，作为食品补充剂，学部儿童（1-3岁）乳糖-N-新四糖每天最大摄入量为0.6克，2'-O-岩藻糖基乳糖最大摄入量1.2克（单一或混合）；儿童（4-18岁）乳糖-N-四糖每天最大摄入量为1.5克，2'-O-岩藻糖基乳糖最大摄入量为3g（单一或混合）。

     然而专家组还认为，对于1-10岁年龄段的儿童来讲，混合摄入任何含有两种乳糖的食品或食品补充剂应考虑轻度胃肠道症状风险。

     部分原文报道如下：

     Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies （NDA） was asked to provide a scientific opinion on the safety of lacto-N-neotetraose and 2'-O-fucosyllactose as novel food ingredients in food supplements for children （excluding infants）。 In July 2015, the Panel concluded that LNnT and 2'-FL are safe for infants and for young children when added to infant, follow-on and young-child formulae under specific conditions of use; and for adults when added to foods at the uses and use levels proposed by the applicant, which include food supplements at a maximum intended daily intake of 1.5 g for LNnT and 3 g for 2'-FL.
