| 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 Scientific Panel is requested to consider the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (the JECFA) evaluations of flavouring substances assessed since 2000, and to decide whether no further evaluation is necessary, as laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. These flavouring substances are listed in the Register, which was adopted by Commission Decision 1999/217/EC, and its consecutive amendments. The present consideration concerns 48 phenol and phenol derivatives evaluated by JECFA (55th meeting) and will be considered in relation to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) evaluation of 23 ring substituted phenolic substances evaluated in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 22 (FGE.22). The Panel concluded that the 44 substances in the JECFA flavouring group of phenol derivatives are structurally related to the group of ring substituted phenolic substances evaluated by EFSA in FGE.22. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety an efficacy of 10 compounds belonging to chemical group 21 (aromatic ketones, secondary alcohols and related esters). They are currently authorised as flavours in food. This opinion concerns eight compounds from this group. |
