| 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 36 compounds (benzyl alcohols, aldehydes, acids, esters and acetals belonging to chemical group 23) when used as flavourings for all animal species. |
| 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 44 hydroxy- and alkoxy-substituted benzyl derivatives evaluated by JECFA (57th meeting) and will be considered in relation to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) evaluation of 35 benzyl alcohols, benzaldehydes, a related acetal, benzoic acids, and related esters evaluated in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 20 (FGE.20). The Panel concluded that the 44 substances in the JECFA flavouring group of hydroxy- and alkoxysubstituted benzyl derivatives are structurally related to the group of benzyl alcohols, benzaldehydes, a related acetal, benzoic acids, and related esters evaluated by EFSA in the FGE.20. |
