| 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 Scientific Panel is 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 consideration concerns 19 amino acids and related substances evaluated by the JECFA (63rd meeting) and will be considered in relation to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) evaluation of nine structurally related amino acids from chemical group 34 evaluated by EFSA in Flavouring Group Evaluation 26, Revision 1 (FGE.26Rev1). |
| 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 present FGE.96 concerns 88 JECFA-evaluated substances from different groups. These groups have been previously considered by EFSA in FGE.51, 52, 53, 54, 56, 58, 61, 62, 63, 64, 68, 69, 70, 71, 73, 76, 77, 79, 80, 83, 84, 85 and 87. Common for all the 88 substances was that for none of them European production volumes were available at the time for the first consideration in the abovementioned FGEs. As a consequence, no MSDI could be calculated for EU and accordingly the substances could not be considered by EFSA using the Procedure. |
