Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP - - - The Scientific Panel on Food 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 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. This consideration deals with 45 simple aliphatic and aromatic sulphides and thiols with and without an additional oxygenated functional group, which are in the Register and which were evaluated by the JECFA at its 53rd and 68th meetings. The Panel concluded that all the 45 substances in the JECFA flavouring groups of simple aliphatic and aromatic sulphides and thiols are structurally related to the aliphatic and alicyclic mono-, di-, tri-, and polysulphides with or without additional oxygenated functional groups evaluated by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 08, Revision 1 (FGE.08Rev1). The 45 JECFA evaluated substances are distributed into eight subgroups of structurally related substances. The subgrouping is the same as used in FGE.08Rev1. This flavouring substance is here considered since hydrolysis product of ethane-1,1-dithiol [FL-no: 12.293].
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 86 compounds (straight-chain primary aliphatic alcohols/aldehydes/acids, acetals and esters with esters containing saturated alcohols and acetals containing saturated aldehydes belonging to chemical group 1) when used as flavourings for all animal species. All are currently authorised for use as flavours in food and all have been detected in plant materials, in fruits or in processed foods, however the reports of their distribution vary greatly.
Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP - - - Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety of methyl vinyl ether-maleic anhydride copolymer (Gantrez SF) as a novel food ingredient.
Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP - - - This scientific opinion of the EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids deals with the safety assessment of the polymeric additive ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer wax, CAS No 24937-78-8, FCM substance No 00969 for use as a dispersing agent, lubricant, pigment carrier, and/or a processing aid in the production of plastic materials made from polymers such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
Genetic Toxicity - - - This scientific opinion of the EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids deals with the safety assessment of the polymeric additive ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer wax, CAS No 24937-78-8, FCM substance No 00969 for use as a dispersing agent, lubricant, pigment carrier, and/or a processing aid in the production of plastic materials made from polymers such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
