Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1250 amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards removal from the Union list of the flavouring substance 4,5-epoxydec-2(trans)-enal (Text with EEA relevance)

The Union list of flavourings and source materials is laid down in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1334/3008. It was established by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 872/2012 of 1 October 2012 adopting the list of flavouring substances notified in G/SPS/N/EU/13/Add.1 (12 October 2012) which is now amended by this Regulation.
This addendum concerns the removal of the flavouring substance 4,5-epoxydec-2(trans)-enal (FL-no 16.071) from the European Union list of flavourings following the European Food Safety Authority opinion published on 31 May  2017 which concluded that this substance is genotoxic in vivo and therefore its use as a flavouring substance raises a safety concern.
