| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (CEF Panel) was asked to deliver a 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 CEF 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. In Flavouring Group Evaluation 76 (FGE.76), the EFSA considered 26 sulphur-containing heterocyclic compounds evaluated by the JECFA at its 59th meeting. Since publication of FGE.76, one substance, thiazole [FL-no: 15.028], is no longer supported by Industry for use as a flavouring substance in Europe and will therefore not be considered any further. The present revision is made due to inclusion of one additional substance, 5-methyl-2-thiophenecarbaldehyde [FL-no: 15.004], cleared for genotoxicity concern in FGE.224. Additionally, new toxicity data have become available for 5,6- dihydro-2,4,6-tris(2-methylpropyl)-4H-1,3,5-dithiazine [FL-no: 15.113]. Therefore, the present revision of FGE.76, FGE.76Rev1, considers 26 flavouring substances evaluated by the JECFA. The Panel concluded that all 26 Register substances in the JECFA flavouring group of sulphurcontaining heterocyclic compounds are structurally related to the 59 thiazoles, thiophenes, thiazoline and thienyl derivatives from chemical group 29 and miscellaneous substances from chemical group 30 evaluated by EFSA in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 21, Revision 3 (FGE.21Rev3). |
| 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 26 sulphur-containing heterocyclic compounds evaluated by the JECFA (59th meeting) and will be considered in relation to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) evaluation of thiazoles, thiophene, thiazoline and thienyl derivatives from chemical group 29, miscellaneous substances from chemical group 30 evaluated in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 21 (FGE.21). The Panel concluded that all 26 Register substances in the JECFA flavouring group of sulphur-containing heterocyclic compounds are structurally related to the 54 thiazoles, thiophene, thiazoline and thienyl derivatives from chemical group 29 and miscellaneous substances from chemical group 30 evaluated by EFSA in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 21 (FGE.21). |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA 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 12 compounds belonging to chemical group 29 (thiazoles, thiophene and thiazoline). |
