| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the supplementary information submitted on the safety of 37 compounds belonging to different chemical groups, when used as sensory additives (flavourings) in feed for all animal species formerly assessed by the Panel in the context of the re-evaluation of these feed additives. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids was requested to consider evaluations of flavouring substances assessed since 2000 by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), and to decide whether further evaluation is necessary, as laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The Scientific Panel on Food Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (the Panel) was asked 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. Six substances were evaluated by the JECFA in the group of pulegone and structurally related substances. Pulegone (JECFA-no: 753) and menthofuran (JECFA-no: 758) are in Annex III of Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (EC, 2008) and accordingly cannot be used as flavouring substances in the EU. p-Mentha-1,4(8)-dien-3-one [FL-no: 07.127] is an alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone which was considered together with other alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones in FGE.213, in which it was concluded that additional genotoxicity data were required. The Panel considered the remaining three substances in this FGE, isopulegol [FL-no: 02.067], isopulegone [FL-no: 07.067] and isopulegyl acetate [FL-no: 09.219]). However, as there are some data indicating that isopulegone might be partly isomerised to pulegone via a minor metabolic pathway (Gordon et al., 1987; McClanahan et al., 1988), the Panel also considered data on pulegone and the metabolically related menthofuran and took into account the SCF Opinion on pulegone and menthofuran (SCF, 2002g), later revised by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) based on additional data (EFSA, 2005). |
