| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The EFSA Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF) was requested to evaluate 54 flavouring substances attributed to the Flavouring Group Evaluation 05 (FGE.05), using the Procedure as referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The Panel on Food Additives, Flavourings, Processing Aids and Materials in Contact with Food 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 Panel is asked to evaluate 24 flavouring substances in the Flavouring Group Evaluation FGE.05, using the procedure as referred to in the Commission Regulation EC No 1565/2000. These 24 flavouring substances belong to chemical groups 1, 2, and 5 of Annex I of the Commission Regulation EC No 1565/2000. The present Flavouring Group Evaluation deals with 24 esters with branched- and straight-chain aliphatic saturated primary alcohols (including one secondary alcohol) and branched- and straightchain unsaturated carboxylic acids. |
| 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 asked to evaluate 29 flavouring substances in the Flavouring Group Evaluation, Revision 1 (FGE.05Rev1), using the procedure as referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. These 29 flavouring substances belong to chemical groups 1, 2, and 5 of Annex I of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. The present Flavouring Group Evaluation deals with 29 esters of branched- and straight-chain aliphatic saturated primary alcohols, and a secondary alcohol, and branched- and straight-chain unsaturated carboxylic acids. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The European Commission asks the European Food Safety Authority to provide a scientific opinion on the safety of neutral methacrylate copolymer as a glazing agent/coating agent for solid food supplements and in solid foods for special medical purposes. Neutral methacrylate copolymer is a fully polymerized copolymer of methyl methacrylate and ethyl acrylate, the monomers being randomly distributed. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The Scientific Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (the Panel) was asked to give 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 evaluate 37 flavouring substances in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 05, Revision 2 (FGE.05Rev2), using the Procedure as referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. These 37 flavouring substances belong to chemical groups 1, 2, 3 and 5, Annex I of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. The present Flavouring Group Evaluation deals with 37 branched- and straight-chain unsaturated carboxylic acids and esters of these with aliphatic saturated alcohols. |
