Materials and methods
- Type of study / information:
- 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 asked to evaluate 47 flavouring substances in the Flavouring Group Evaluation 2, Revision 1 (FGE.02Rev1), using the procedure as referred to in the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. These 47 flavouring substances belong to chemical groups 1 and 2, Annex I of the Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000.

Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
According to the default MSDI ( Maximised Survey-derived Daily Intake) approach, the 47 flavouring substances in this group have intakes in Europe from 0.0012 to 6.7 µg/capita/day, which are below the threshold of concern value for a structural class I substance of 1800 µg/person/day.
MSDI for Methyl tetradecanoate: 54 µg/capita/day.
SCF status: Category 1 (Considered safe in use)
JECFA status: No safety concern (No safety concern at estimated levels of intake)
CoE status: Category B (Flavouring substance which can be used provisionally in foodstuffs)
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
