| Endpoint | Species | Route | Effect | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The European Commission asks the European Food Safety Authority for a scientific opinion on the evaluation of the substances currently on the list in the Annex to Commission Directive 96/3/EC5 as acceptable previous cargoes for edible fats and oils. The evaluation should be based on the SCF criteria and the criteria proposed by the CCFO as reviewed by the Panel on Contaminants in Food Chain in 200910 for acceptable previous cargoes for edible fats and oils. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the assessment of the request to modify the existing maximum residue levels (MRLs) for the active substance potassium phosphonates in certain citrus fruits and in herbal infusions from leaves and herbs. |
| 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 orthophosphoric acid when used as preservative in feed and water for drinking for all animal species. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The European Food Safety Authority was asked by the European Commission to undertake a scientific assessment of the concerns raised in the scientific article "Phosphate additives in food: a health risk”, by Ritz et al., published in 2012 which suggested an association between high intake of phosphates as food additives and increased cardiovascular risk in the general population. |
