经过评估，专家小组得出结论，在建议的使用条件下，纤维二糖作为新型食品是安全的。部分原文报道如下：

following a request from the european commission, the efsa panel on nutrition, novel foods and food allergens (nda) was asked to deliver an opinion on cellobiose as a novel food (nf) pursuant to regulation (eu) 2015/2283. the nf consists of two glucose monomers linked by a β-(1–4) glucosidic bond. the applicant intends to add the nf to a variety of foods, and to food supplements aimed at the general population 3 years and older. the information provided on the manufacturing process, composition and specifications of the nf is sufficient and does not raise safety concerns. the applicant provided a subchronic toxicological study which did not raise safety concerns. the applicant provided a human dose-escalation study from which the panel concludes that the consumption of 20 g per day of cellobiose (equivalent to 290 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day in a 70-kg adult) does not raise concern regarding gastrointestinal tolerability. the maximum anticipated daily intake of cellobiose from the proposed uses is below 290 mg/kg bw per day in the target population. considering the nature, source, compositional characterisation, and production process of the nf, as well as the toxicological data provided, the panel considers that the nf does not raise safety concerns under the proposed conditions of use.
