Six flavouring agents used in a variety of foods are cleared by Europe’s risk assessor but industry is still awaiting the outcome for seven other agents evaluated at the same time…
Following evaluations of 13 aliphatic secondary alcohols, ketones and related esters, a scientific panel at the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded that there was no safety concern at estimated levels of intake for six of the 13 substances…
The FGE.63 evaluation concerned 13 aliphatic secondary alcohols, ketones and related esters evaluated by the JECFA (59th meeting), and considered in relation to the EFSA evaluation of 35 saturated and unsaturated aliphatic secondary alcohols, ketones and esters of secondary alcohols and saturated linear or branched-chain carboxylic acids evaluated in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 07 (FGE.07).
But for the remaining six of the 13 Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) evaluated aliphatic secondary alcohols, ketones and related esters [FL-no: 07.015, 07.123, 07.151, 07.240, 07.249 and 09.924] the panel found “no safety concern at estimated levels of intake as flavouring substances” based on the MSDI (Maximised Survey-derived Daily Intake) approach.
