| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food provides a scientific opinion re-evaluating the safety of Quinoline Yellow (E 104). |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The aim of the present assessment is to provide a refined exposure assessment for Quinoline Yellow (E 104) from its use as a food colour using the approach adopted by the ANS Panel in July 2014 at its 52nd plenary meeting. This approach is to be followed to assess the exposure as part of the safety assessment of food additives under re-evaluation with the use of the EFSA Comprehensive European Food Consumption Database and the FoodEx food classification system and taking into consideration, besides the Maximum Permitted Levels (MPLs), updated use levels reported by industry and analytical data from Member States. |
