EFSA Study Results
Endpoint-level study rows from efsa_study_results matched to this substance.
| Endpoint | Species | Route | Effect | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| genetic toxicity in vivo, other | other: | oral: unspecified | - | New study submitted to JECFA for the 69th meeting (Sujatha, 2007). Two experimental protocols were utilised. In one experiment, animals received single oral dose administrations of the test compound. In the other experiment, the test compound was orally administered once per day at the same concentrations as in the single-dose study for 5 consecutive days with 24-hour intervals between doses. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (CEF) of the European Food Safety Authority 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. The substances were evaluated through a stepwise approach (the Procedure) that integrates information on structure-activity relationships, intake from current uses, toxicological threshold of concern, and available data on metabolism and toxicity. The present consideration concerns a group of 28 furan-substitued compounds evaluated by the JECFA. This revision of FGE.67 is due to new data on toxicity for 3-(-methyl-2-furyl) butanal [FL-no: 13.058] providing an appropriate NOAEL for the evaluation of candidate substance [FL-no: 13.058]. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) asked the Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (the Panel) 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. The present consideration concerns a group of 33 furan-substituted aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and related esters, sulfides, disulfides and ethers evaluated by the JECFA. In the present version of FGE.67 eight additional substances have been included. The thirty-three candidate substances considered in this FGE are structurally related to the group of 27 furfuryl and furan derivatives evaluated by EFSA in FGE.13Rev2. Part of the substances is also structurally related to a group of 33 sulphur-substituted furan derivatives used as flavouring agents, evaluated by EFSA in FGE.65 and another part is structurally related to 14 furfuryl derivatives evaluated in FGE.66Rev1 (EFSA, 2009an; EFSA, 2011ad). |
