| 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 JECFA has evaluated 15 furfuryl alcohol derivatives at their 55th meeting. The Panel concluded that 14 substances in Flavouring Group Evaluation 66 (FGE.66) are structurally related to the subgroup of 10 furfuryl derivatives in the group of furfuryl and furan derivatives with and without additional side-chain substituents and heteroatoms evaluated by EFSA in FGE.13, Revision 2 (FGE.13Rev2). The 15th substance, 2-Benzofurancarboxaldehyde [FL-no: 13.031], is considered too structurally different from the other 14 to be included in the present FGE. This substance will be evaluated in FGE.67Rev1. |
| 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 flavouring substances using the Procedure as referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. The present Flavouring Group Evaluation (FGE) consists of eight flavouring substances, furfural, 5-methylfurfural, furfuryl alcohol and five furfuryl esters which all are alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes or precursors for alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes corresponding to subgroup 4.2 of FGE.19 (EFSA, 2008). The alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde and ketone structures are considered by the Panel to be structural alerts for genotoxicity (EFSA, 2008), and accordingly these eight substances will be considered in this FGE, especially with respect to the available data on genotoxic or carcinogenic activity. |

The JECFA has evaluated 15 substances in the group of furfuryl alcohol and related substances at their 55th meeting. Nine of these substances are alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes or precursors for such which the Panel considers to be a structural alert for genotoxicity. The Panel concluded that for eight of the nine substances the genotoxicity data available do not preclude their evaluation through the Procedure. For one substance, 2-benzofurancarboxaldehyde [FL-no: 13.031], the Panel has concluded that it is structurally different from the eight other substances and that it could not be evaluated through the Procedure on the basis of the data available. The present Flavouring Group Evaluation will therefore only deal with 14 of the 15 JECFA evaluated substances from the group of furfuryl alcohol and related substances. The Panel concluded that the 14 substances in the present Flavouring Group Evaluation 66 (FGE.66) are structurally related to the subgroup of nine furfuryl derivatives in the group of furfuryl and furan derivatives with and without additional side chain substituents and heteroatoms evaluated by EFSA in FGE.13. |
