| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF Panel) of the European Food Safety Authority was requested to evaluate the genotoxic potential of the flavouring substances from subgroup 1.2.1 of FGE.19 in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 204 (FGE.204). |
| 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 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 Flavouring Group Evaluation 204 (FGE.204), corresponding to subgroup 1.2.1 of FGE.19, concerns 16 mono-unsaturated, aliphatic, alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones and two precursors for such ketones. The alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde and ketone structures are structural alerts for genotoxicity and the data on genotoxicity previously available did not rule out the concern for genotoxicity for these 18 flavouring substances. |
