Serious concerns about the health effects of phosphates used as food supplements were expressed by members of the EP's Public Health and Food Safety Committee, reports actualno. 

They opposed the European Commission's proposal to allow the use of phosphoric acid, di- and triphosphates and polyphosphates (E 338-452) in frozen meat , whether it be mutton, lamb, beef, chicken meat.
