| 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 47 flavouring substances in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 2, Revision 1 (FGE.02Rev1), using the procedure as referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. These 47 flavouring substances belong to chemical groups 1 and 2, Annex I of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. The present Flavouring Group Evaluation deals with 47 branched- and straight-chain aliphatic saturated primary alcohols and related esters of primary alcohols and straight-chain carboxylic acids and one straight-chain aldehyde. |
