| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | In FGE.208Rev2, the Panel assessed genotoxicity studies submitted on five flavouring substances [FL-no: 02.060, 02.091, 05.106, 09.278 and 09.302] and concluded that the concern for genotoxicity could be ruled out for these substances, except from myrtenal [FL-no: 05.106] for which the available data were considered equivocal. Thus, industry provided additional genotoxicity studies (a bacterial reverse mutation assay and a combined in vivo bone marrow erythrocytes micronucleus test and Comet assay in liver and duodenum) for this substance which were evaluated in the present opinion, FGE.208Rev3. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (CEF) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion 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 0 (hereafter 'the Procedure'). The Union List of flavourings and source materials was established by Commission Implementing Regulation (EC) No 872/2012. The list contains flavouring substances for which the scientific evaluation should be completed in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. The Flavouring Group Evaluation 208 (FGE.208), corresponding to subgroup 2.2 of FGE.19, concerns three alicyclic aldehydes with the alpha,beta-unsaturation in ring / side-chain and seven precursors for such. The alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde structure, which is a structural alert for genotoxicity and the data on genotoxicity previously available for these 10 substances, did not rule out the concern for genotoxicity. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission the Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (CEF Panel) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion 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 Flavouring Group Evaluation 208 (FGE.208), corresponding to subgroup 2.2 of FGE.19, concerns three alicyclic aldehydes with the alpha,beta-unsaturation in ring / side-chain and seven precursors for such.
