| 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 86 compounds (straight-chain primary aliphatic alcohols/aldehydes/acids, acetals and esters with esters containing saturated alcohols and acetals containing saturated aldehydes belonging to chemical group 1) when used as flavourings for all animal species. All are currently authorised for use as flavours in food and all have been detected in plant materials, in fruits or in processed foods, however the reports of their distribution vary greatly. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS) of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the re-evaluation of aspartame (E 951) as a food additive. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The European Commission asks the European Food Safety Authority for a scientific opinion on the evaluation of the substances currently on the list in the Annex to Commission Directive 96/3/EC5 as acceptable previous cargoes for edible fats and oils. The evaluation should be based on the SCF criteria and the criteria proposed by the CCFO as reviewed by the Panel on Contaminants in Food Chain in 200910 for acceptable previous cargoes for edible fats and oils. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety of methyl vinyl ether-maleic anhydride copolymer (Gantrez SF) as a novel food ingredient. |
| Genetic Toxicity | - | - | - | 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 86 compounds (straight-chain primary aliphatic alcohols/aldehydes/acids, acetals and esters with esters containing saturated alcohols and acetals containing saturated aldehydes belonging to chemical group 1) when used as flavourings for all animal species.
