| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (the Panel) was asked to provide scientific advise for 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 asked to evaluate flavouring substances using the Procedure as referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. The present Flavouring Group Evaluation 202 (FGE.202) concerns a total of 37 substances. The 37 substances correspond to subgroup 1.1.3 of FGE.19. Three of these substances are aliphatic acyclic 3-alkylated alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes with and without additional (non-conjugated) double bonds and 34 are precursors for such aldehydes. Not evaluated by JECFA. Conclusion on GENOTOXICITY and CARCINOGENICITY: Based on the available data, the Panel concluded that there would be no safety concern with respect to genotoxicity or carcinogenicity for the 37 alpha,beta-unsaturated substances presented in this FGE. Accordingly, the Panel concluded that the data available do not preclude a further evaluation of the 37 flavouring substances in FGE.202 using the Procedure. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The Scientific Panel on 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 evaluate 41 flavouring substances in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 20, Revision 2 (FGE.20Rev2), using the Procedure as referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. These 41 flavouring substances belong to chemical group 23 and 30, Annex I of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. FGE.20Rev2 includes the assessment of 5 additional candidate substances compared to FGE.20Rev1. The present FGE.20Rev2 deals in total with 41 benzyl alcohols, benzaldehydes, related acetals, benzoic acids and related esters and a hydroxy- and alkoxy-substituted biphenyl derivative. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) asked the Scientific 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 evaluate 45 flavouring substances in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 20, Revision 4 (FGE.20Rev4), using the Procedure as referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. These flavouring substances belong to chemical groups 23 and 30, Annex I of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. The present revision of FGE.20, FGE.20Rev4, includes the evaluation of four additional substances, o- m- and p-tolualdehyde [FL no: 05.026, 05.028 and 05.029] and phenylmethyl 2-methyl-2-butenoate [09.858]. |

In particular, the Panel was requested to evaluate 41 flavouring substances in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 20, Revision 3 (FGE.20Rev3), using the Procedure as referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. These 41 flavouring substances belong to chemical group 23 and 30, Annex I of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. The present revision of FGE.20, FGE.20Rev3 includes the consideration of the SCF Opinion on benzoic acid (SCF, 2002c). Furthermore information on the stereoisomeric composition has become available for two substances [FL-no: 06.104 and 09.570] and new information to support the reallocation of the structural class for the candidate substance piperonyl alcohol [FL-no: 02.205] has been submitted. |
