N2 - The Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids of the European
Food Safety Authority was requested to consider in this revision 3 of Flavouring Group Evaluation 20,
the SCF Opinion on benzoic acid. Furthermore information on stereoisomeric composition for two
substances [FL-no: 06.104 and 09.570] and new information to support the re-allocation of the
structural class for the candidate substance piperonyl alcohol [FL-no: 02.205] has been submitted. The
41 flavouring substances in Flavouring Group Evaluation 20 were evaluated using the Procedure in
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1565/2000. None of the substances were considered to have
genotoxic potential. The substances were evaluated through a stepwise approach (the Procedure) that
integrates information on structure-activity relationships, intake from current uses, toxicological
threshold of concern, and available data on metabolism and toxicity. The Panel concluded that all the
substances do not give rise to safety concerns at their levels of dietary intake, estimated on the basis of
the MSDI approach.
