| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission, the 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 20 compounds belonging to chemical group (CG) 34 (amino acids), when used as flavourings for all animal species. All 20 additives are currently authorised for use as flavours in food and are ubiquitous in nature. The FEEDAP Panel was unable to perform an assessment of D,L-valine owing to the lack of data on the purity of the compound. Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 establishes the rules governing the Community authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) asked the Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (CEF Panel) to deliver a scientific opinion 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, EFSA was requested to carry out a safety assessment of one flavouring substance (candidate substance) in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 401 (FGE.401) in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) no.1334/2008. The present substance is a hydrolysis product of the candidate substance. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS) was asked to re-evaluate the safety of glutamic acid (E 620), monosodium glutamate (E 621), monopotassium glutamate (E 622), calcium diglutamate (E 623), monoammonium glutamate (E 624) and magnesium diglutamate (E 626) when used as food additives. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The European Commission requests the European Food Safety Authority to provide a scientific opinion on the safety of the change in the production method for the production of L-glutamic acid (E620), monosodium L-glutamate (E621), monopotassium L-glutamate (E622), calcium di-Lglutamate (E623), monoammonium L-glutamate (E624) and magnesium di-L-glutamate (E625) in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 establishing a common authorisation procedure for food additives, food enzymes and food flavourings. |
