EFSA ; Scientific Opinion on Flavouring Group Evaluation 66, Revision 1 (FGE.66Rev1): Consideration of Furfuryl Alcohol and Related Flavouring Substances Evaluated by JECFA (55th meeting)
In EFSA Journal, 2011
Abstract
The Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids of the European Food Safety Authority was requested to evaluate 14 flavouring substances in the Revision 1 of Flavouring Group Evaluation 66, using the Procedure in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. None of the substances were considered to have genotoxic potential. The substances were evaluated through a stepwise approach (the Procedure) that integrates information on structure-activity relationships, intake from current uses, toxicological threshold of concern, and available data on metabolism and toxicity. The Panel concluded that the 14 substances [FL-no: 13.001, 13.002, 13.003, 13.005, 13.018, 13.019, 13.025, 13.038, 13.057, 13.062, 13.067, 13.068, 13.073 and 13.128] do not give rise to safety concerns at their levels of dietary intake, estimated on the basis of the MSDI approach.
