| Endpoint | Species | Route | Effect | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sub-chronic toxicity: oral | rat | oral: gavage | 500 other: | - |
| 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 | - | - | - | The European Commission requested the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to evaluate the acceptability as previous cargoes for fats and oils the substances calcium lignosulphonate, methyl acetate, ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) and ammonium sulphate. |
