| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) asked the Scientific Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (the Panel) 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 evaluate 45 flavouring substances in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 20, Revision 4 (FGE.20Rev4), using the Procedure as referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. These flavouring substances belong to chemical groups 23 and 30, Annex I of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. The present revision of FGE.20, FGE.20Rev4, includes the evaluation of four additional substances, o- m- and p-tolualdehyde [FL no: 05.026, 05.028 and 05.029] and phenylmethyl 2-methyl-2-butenoate [09.858]. |

In particular, the Panel was requested to evaluate 41 flavouring substances in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 20, Revision 3 (FGE.20Rev3), using the Procedure as referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. These 41 flavouring substances belong to chemical group 23 and 30, Annex I of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. The present revision of FGE.20, FGE.20Rev3 includes the consideration of the SCF Opinion on benzoic acid (SCF, 2002c). Furthermore information on the stereoisomeric composition has become available for two substances [FL-no: 06.104 and 09.570] and new information to support the reallocation of the structural class for the candidate substance piperonyl alcohol [FL-no: 02.205] has been submitted. |
