| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The Panel on Food Additives, Flavourings, Processing Aids and Materials in Contact with Food 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 asked to evaluate four flavouring substances in the Flavouring Group Evaluation FGE.16, using the procedure as referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. These four flavouring substances belong to chemical group 21, Annex I of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. The present Flavouring Group Evaluation deals with four aromatic ketones. Methyl 2-naphthyl ketone [Fl.no: 07.013] is here used as supporting substance, structurally similar to the candidate substance alpha-methyl naphthyl ketone [Fl-no:07.214]. |

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 33 aromatic substituted secondary alcohols, ketones and related esters evaluated by the JECFA (57th meeting) and will be considered in relation to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) evaluation of four structurally related aromatic ketones from chemical group 21 evaluated in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 16 (FGE.16). |
