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 20 compounds belonging to chemical group (CG) 34 (amino acids), when used as flavourings for all animal species. All 20 additives are currently authorised for use as flavours in food and are ubiquitous in nature. The FEEDAP Panel was unable to perform an assessment of D,L-valine owing to the lack of data on the purity of the compound. Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 establishes the rules governing the Community authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition.
Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP - - - EFSA shall deliver an opinion on the efficacy and the safety for the target animals, the consumer, the user and the environment of the product L-arginine
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 19 amino acids and related substances evaluated by the JECFA (63rd meeting) and will be considered in relation to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) evaluation of nine structurally related amino acids from chemical group 34 evaluated by EFSA in Flavouring Group Evaluation 26, Revision 1 (FGE.26Rev1).
Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP - - - According to Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, EFSA, after verifying the particulars and documents submitted by the applicant, shall undertake an assessment in order to determine whether the feed additive complies with the conditions laid down in Article 5. EFSA shall deliver an opinion on the safety for the target animals, consumer, user and the environment and on the efficacy of the product L-arginine produced by fermentation using Corynebacterium glutamicum KCTC 10423BP, when used under the proposed conditions of use.
