The Panel considered that a conservative dose above which unintended pharmacological effects would occur should be used for the determination of the acute reference dose (ARfD).

The present consideration concerns a group of five epoxides evaluated by JECFA at the 65th meeting. This revision of FGE.82 is made due to new information on stereoisomeric composition, toxicity studies, uses and use levels for beta-ionone epoxide [FL-no: 07.170]. In addition, new data on uses and use levels for the substances [FL-no: 16.015, 16.018, 16.040 and 16.043] have been provided and considered for the estimation of exposure (modified theoretical added maximum daily intake (mTAMDI) approach). The Panel considered that the information on the stereochemical composition of [FL-no: 07.170] is sufficient. The Panel did not agree with the application of the Procedure for the epoxides as performed by JECFA, because in the absence of experimental data, the extent of detoxification of these epoxides remains uncertain. Therefore, [FL-no: 07.170] was assessed via the B-side of the Procedure. In the 90-day toxicity study on [FL-no: 07.170], substance-related findings were observed in adrenal glands of male rats. Based on this observation, the Panel identified a no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of 39 mg/kg bw per day and concluded that for [FL-no: 07.170] there is 'no safety concern at estimated levels of intake as flavouring substance', when based on the maximised survey-derived daily intake (MSDI) approach. Based on new information on uses and use levels for [FL-no: 07.170, 16.015, 16.018, 16.040 and 16.043], the mTAMDI exposure estimates are above the toxicological threshold of concern (TTC) for their structural class III.

This pilot focused on three food additives, green S (E 142), ponceau 4R (E 124) and tartrazine (E 102), and two flavourings, caffeine (FL No 16.016) and pulegone (Annex III of Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008). The aim of the monitoring programme is to evaluate the occurrence and use of these substances, estimate chronic dietary exposure across population groups and compare the outcomes with previous EFSA assessments. Monitoring data were collected from 22 EU Member States and five food business operators, comprising 18,296 analytical results from 8943 food samples and 663 use levels. Dietary exposure was assessed using three refined exposure scenarios: non-brand-loyal, brand-loyal and food-supplement 'consumers only' scenarios. For the three food additives, all exposure estimates were well below their respective acceptable daily intakes (ADIs). For pulegone, exposure estimates were below the tolerable daily intake (TDI). For caffeine, as already reported in previous EFSA assessments, exposure estimates in several dietary surveys exceeded doses of no safety concern, particularly in adults and the elderly, largely driven by the consumption of foods with naturally occurring caffeine such as coffee and tea rather than foods with added caffeine. Caffeine exposure was higher as compared with previous assessments; the current estimates are considered as largely overestimated due to some limitations in the concentration data and the methodology used in the assessment. Overall, different challenges and misreporting were identified when preparing the monitoring report that might have biased, to different extents, the dietary exposure estimations for the substances assessed. Therefore, conclusions derived in the framework of this first pilot are not yet considered to be sufficiently robust for decision-making, and further actions will be taken to strengthen the collection and analysis of the monitoring data in the next report.</p>","PeriodicalId":11657,"journal":{"name":"EFSA Journal","volume":"24 4","pages":"e10070"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13126238/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147812551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The WOAH provisions stipulate that BSE surveillance should target animals on the BSE clinical spectrum and require the implementation of standardised clinical protocols for selecting animals for testing. Based on expert judgement of retrospective clinical data, between 5% and 49% of the 55 BSE cases detected in the EU & UK since 2015 would have been selected for testing by the WOAH surveillance. Assuming the current EU surveillance, a back-calculation model predicted a very low number of BSE cases detected for the period 2025-2029: 0.0196 for C-BSE, 10.94 for H-BSE and 9.13 for L-BSE. As no classical BSE (C-BSE) cases are expected, the application of the WOAH provisions would primarily impact the detection of atypical BSE (H-BSE and L-BSE), with an estimated detection over the next 5 years of between zero and five H-BSE cases and between zero and four L-BSE cases. Supplementing the WOAH provisions with systematic testing of fallen stock (with or without emergency slaughter) with increased age threshold of 60 or 72 months would achieve a detection capability close to current EU levels. This approach would enable the documentation of the effectiveness of BSE control measures, provide scientific assurance that the decline in C-BSE is sustained and allow atypical BSE trends to be monitored reliably while maintaining the sensitivity required to detect any re-emergence of C-BSE. Finally, this would contribute to risk mitigation by triggering immediate statutory control measures when cases are detected.
