Iron (II) taurate, magnesium taurate and magnesium acetyl taurateas sources of iron or magnesium added for nutritional purposes infood supplements

Following a request from the European Commission to the European Food Safety Authority, the Scientific Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS) was asked to provide a scientific opinion on the safety of iron (II) taurate, magnesium taurate and magnesium acetyl taurate added for nutritional purposes as sources of iron or magnesium in food supplements and on the bioavailability of iron or magnesium from these sources.
