Evaluations
| Evaluation year: | 2012 |
| Specs Code: | M |
| Comments: | New in vitro and in vivo studies raise concerns regarding the potential genotoxicity of furfuryl alcohol and derivatives that can be metabolized to furfuryl alcohol (e.g. furfuryl esters). The Committee concluded that this group of flavouring agents could not be evaluated according to the Procedure because of the unresolved concerns regarding genotoxicity. In addition, the group ADI previously established by the Committee will need to be reconsidered at a future meeting. |
