Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP - - - The Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (CEF) of the European Food Safety Authority was requested to consider evaluations of flavouring substances assessed since 2000 by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), and to decide whether further evaluation is necessary, as laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. The substances were evaluated through a stepwise approach (the Procedure) that integrates information on structure-activity relationships, intake from current uses, toxicological threshold of concern, and available data on metabolism and toxicity. The present consideration concerns a group of 28 furan-substitued compounds evaluated by the JECFA. This revision of FGE.67 is due to new data on toxicity for 3-(-methyl-2-furyl) butanal [FL-no: 13.058] providing an appropriate NOAEL for the evaluation of candidate substance [FL-no: 13.058].
Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP - - - The Scientific Panel on Food 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 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 67 (FGE.67) dealt originally with 39 substances which were previously considered by the JECFA in a group of 40 furan-substituted aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and related esters, sulfides, disulfides and ethers. One substance ([FL-no: 13.192] has already been evaluated in FGE.13Rev1 and will not be discussed further in this FGE. Twenty-five substances are structurally related to the group of 25 furfuryl and furan derivatives evaluated by EFSA in FGE.13Rev1. Part of the substances is also structurally related to a group of 33 sulfur-substituted furan derivatives used as flavouring agents, evaluated by EFSA in FGE.65 and another part is structurally related to 14 furfuryl derivatives evaluated in FGE.66. The other 14 substances in this group of 40 evaluated by the JECFA are alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes or ketones which have been considered together with other alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones in subgroup 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 of FGE.19 with respect to their genotoxic potential. This concern for genotoxicity could not be alleviated. Therefore, the present evaluation only deals with 25 flavouring substances.
Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP - - - The Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings of the European Food Safety Authority was requested to deliver a scientific opinion on the implications for human health of the product Grill flavour concentrate (vegetable) [FL-no: 21.002] in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 501 (FGE.501), according to Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 and Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

The present consideration concerns a group of 33 furan-substituted aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and related esters, sulfides, disulfides and ethers evaluated by the JECFA. In the present version of FGE.67 eight additional substances have been included. The thirty-three candidate substances considered in this FGE are structurally related to the group of 27 furfuryl and furan derivatives evaluated by EFSA in FGE.13Rev2. Part of the substances is also structurally related to a group of 33 sulphur-substituted furan derivatives used as flavouring agents, evaluated by EFSA in FGE.65 and another part is structurally related to 14 furfuryl derivatives evaluated in FGE.66Rev1 (EFSA, 2009an; EFSA, 2011ad).
