| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) asked the Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (the Panel) to provide scientific advice to the Commission on the implications for human health of chemically defined flavouring substances used in or on foodstuffs in the Member States. In particular, the Panel was asked to evaluate 21 flavouring substance in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 9, Revision 4 (FGE.09Rev4), using the Procedure as referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. These flavouring substances belong to chemical group 8, 25 and 30, Annex I of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. The present revision of FGE.09, FGE.09Rev4, includes the assessment of four additional flavouring substances, p-menthan-3-one [FL-no: 07.059], 2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-one [FL-no: 07.202], lpiperitone [FL-no: 07.255] and menthol 1-and 2-propylene glycol carbonate [FL-no: 09.843]. The present flavouring group evaluation deals with 21 secondary alicyclic saturated and unsaturated alcohols, ketones, one hemiketal ester and esters containing secondary alicyclic alcohols. The flavouring substances are structurally related to 27 flavouring substances evaluated at the 51st, 59th and 63rd meetings of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (the JECFA). |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission,the EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (CEF Panel) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the implications for human health of chemically defined flavouring substances used in or on foodstuffs in the Member States. In particular, the Panel was requested to evaluate 21 flavouring substances in the Flavouring Group Evaluation (FGE) 9, Revision 5 (FGE.09Rev5), using the Procedure as referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. These flavouring substances belong to chemical group 8, 25 and 30, Annex I of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. |

In particular, the Panel was requested to evaluate 22 flavouring substances in the Flavouring Group Evaluation (FGE) 9, Revision 6 (FGE.09Rev6), using the Procedure referred to in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000 "(hereinafter 'the Procedure')". These flavouring substances belong to chemical groups 8, 25 and 30 of Annex I of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. The present revision of FGE.09, FGE.09Rev6, includes the assessment of one additional candidate substance, trans-3-methyl-2-(2-pentenyl)-2-cyclopenten-1-one [FL-no: 07.219], which was not included in FGE.09Rev5. This substance is an alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl, for which concern for genotoxicity was ruled out in FGE.212Rev3. |
