| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS) of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion re-evaluating propionic acid (E 280), sodium propionate (E 281), calcium propionate (E 282) and potassium propionate (E 283) when used as food additives. Propionic acid (E 280), sodium propionate (E 281), potassium propionate (E 282) and calcium propionate (E 283) are authorised food additive in accordance with Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 and have been previously evaluated by the EU Scientific Committee for Food (SCF) in 1974 and 1990, and the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) in 1973. |
