EFSA has launched a call to renew membership of two of its Scientific Panels: the Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources Added to Food (ANS) and the Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (CEF).
The ANS Panel evaluates the safety of food additives, nutrient sources and other substances intentionally added to food, but excluding flavourings and enzymes
The CEF Panel addresses questions related to safety in the use of materials in contact with food (substances used to manufacture food contact materials and processes to recycle plastics intended for food contact), food enzymes, flavouring substances, processing aids and processes.
The work of the two Panels mainly concerns substances evaluated by EFSA before their use can be authorised in the EU.
