11月13日歐盟食品安全局就乳糖-N-新四糖（lacto-N-neotetraose）和2'-O-巖藻糖基乳糖（2'-O-fucosyllactose）作為新型食品配料用于兒童食品補充劑的安全性發布意見。
專家組經評估認為，作為食品補充劑，學部兒童（1-3歲）乳糖-N-新四糖每天最大攝入量為0.6克，2'-O-巖藻糖基乳糖最大攝入量1.2克（單一或混合）；兒童（4-18歲）乳糖-N-四糖每天最大攝入量為1.5克，2'-O-巖藻糖基乳糖最大攝入量為3g（單一或混合）。
然而專家組還認為，對于1-10歲年齡段的兒童來講，混合攝入任何含有兩種乳糖的食品或食品補充劑應考慮輕度胃腸道癥狀風險。
部分原文報道如下：
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.
