| 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 and efficacy of nine compounds belonging to chemical group 28 (pyridine, pyrrole and quinoline derivatives). They are currently authorised as flavours in food. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids 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 (the JECFA), and to decide whether further evaluation is necessary, as laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. The present consideration concerns a group of 22 pyridine, pyrrole and quinoline derivatives evaluated by the JECFA (63rd meeting). This revision is made due to new 90-day studies provided for isoquinoline [FL-no: 14.001], pyrrole [FL-no: 14.041] and 2-acetylpyrrole [FL-no: 14.047]. The data on 2-acetylpyrrole should also cover 2-propionylpyrrole [FL-no: 14.068]. Further, additional genotoxicity data on 6-methylquinoline [FL-no: 14.042] have also become available. The present consideration therefore concerns these additional data and will be considered in relation to the European Food safety Authority (EFSA) evaluation of 24 pyridine, pyrrole, indole and quinoline derivatives evaluated in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 24, Revision 2 (FGE.24Rev2). |

The revision of this consideration is made since additional toxicity data have become available for 1-furfurylpyrrole [FL-no: 13.134]. The data are intended to cover the re-evaluation of this substance and 2-acetyl-1-ethylpyrrole [FL-no: 14.045] and 2-acetyl-1-methylpyrrole [FL-no: 14.046]. |
