Abstract

This Regulation amends Part A of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No. 1334/2008 by removing the flavouring substance p-mentha-1,8-dien-7-al from the list of flavourings and source materials approved for use in and on foods, since it has been determined by the European Food Safety Authority that such substance is genotoxic in vivo and therefore its use as a flavouring substance raises a safety concern.
