| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The Scientific Panel on Food Additives, Flavourings, Processing Aids and Materials in Contact with Food (the Panel) is asked to advise 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 is asked to evaluate three flavouring substances in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 46 (FGE.46), using the Procedure as referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. These three flavouring substances belong to chemical group 30, Annex I of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. The present Flavouring Group Evaluation 46 (FGE.46) deals with ammonia [FL-no: 16.009] and two ammonia salts (ammonium chloride [FL-no: 16.048] and ammonium hydrogen sulphide [FLno: 16.059]). |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The Scientific Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (the Panel) was asked 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 requested to evaluate four flavouring substances in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 46, Revision 1 (FGE.46Rev1), using the Procedure as referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. These four flavouring substances belong to chemical group 30, Annex I of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. The present Flavouring Group Evaluation deals with ammonia [FL-no: 16.009], and three ammonia salts (diammonium sulphide [FL-no: 16.002], ammonium chloride [FL-no: 16.048] and ammonium hydrogen sulphide [FL-no: 16.059]). |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | According to Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, EFSA, after verifying the particulars and documents submitted by the applicant, shall undertake an assessment in order to determine whether the feed additive complies with the conditions laid down in Article 5. EFSA shall deliver an opinion on the safety for the target animals, consumer, user and the environment and on the efficacy of the product Amoklor (ammonium chloride), when used under the proposed conditions of use. |
