FDA, Washington, D.C., and the Joint Expert Committee of Food Additives (JECFA), an international food ingredient safety panel, have taken action independently to further affirm the safety of free lutein and zeaxanthin for human consumption. An acceptable daily intake for lutein and zeaxanthin alone or in combination has been set up for 2 mg per kilogram of body weight by JECFA.
