(1)

Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 lays down a Union list of flavourings and source materials approved for use in and on foods and their conditions of use.

(2)

Part A of the Union list contains both evaluated flavouring substances, which are assigned no footnotes and flavouring substances under evaluation, which are identified by footnote references 1 to 4 in that list.

(3)

The European Food Safety Authority, hereinafter referred to as the ‘Authority’, has completed the assessment of 8 substances which are currently listed as flavouring substances under evaluation. These flavouring substances were assessed by EFSA in the following flavouring group evaluations: evaluation FGE.21rev4 (3) (substances FL-no 15.054, 15.055, 15.086 and 15.135), evaluation FGE.24rev2 (4) (substance 14.085), evaluation FGE.77rev1 (5) (substance FL-no 14.041), and evaluation FGE.93rev1 (6) (substances FL-no 15.010 and FL-15.128). EFSA concluded that these flavouring substances do not give rise to safety concerns at the estimated levels of dietary intake.

(4)

As part of its evaluation, the Authority has made comments on the specification of certain substances. The comments are related to names, purity or composition of the following substances: FL-no: 15.054 and 15.055. These comments should be introduced in the list.

(5)

The flavouring substances assessed in these flavouring group evaluations should be listed as evaluated substances by deleting footnote references 2, 3 or 4 in the relevant entries of the Union list.

(6)

Part A of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly.

(7)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
