Following EFSA’s update on flavourings in January 2008 (see Related Url), the former AFC Panel (now replaced by two new panels), looked at a further 15 flavouring groups. The Panel identified data gaps for some of the flavourings and, in August 2008, concluded that data currently available were insufficient to exclude genotoxic potential of these substances. The Panel therefore requested that applicants should provide information that would confirm that these flavourings were safe to use in foods.
