HIGHLIGHTS OF DISCUSSION<br />

The Committee noted further that the working group supported<br />

the safety assessment <strong>and</strong> specifications of 53 new flavouring<br />

substances compounds, including Rebaudioside A, <strong>and</strong> 133<br />

remaining from 2010.<br />

The JECFA Secretariat clarified that while Rebaudioside A was<br />

a constituent of the sweetener steviol glycosides, industry had<br />

provided information that it could also be used at low levels as a<br />

flavour modifier. As it had been evaluated in context of steviol<br />

glycosides <strong>and</strong> attributed an ADI it would not be re-evaluated as<br />

a flavouring substance but JECFA could look into the<br />

technological use <strong>and</strong> the need to revise the existing<br />

specification.<br />

The Committee noted that the Working Group had postponed<br />

adding huito or jagua to the priority list until next year, allowing<br />

Peru to provide further the necessary information, using the<br />

form for the submission of proposal for JECFA evaluation.<br />

The Chairperson urged members to give support to JECFA to<br />

secure continuous scientific advice to the work of the CCFA.<br />

Valediction<br />

The Committee thanked Dr Annika Wennberg, the FAO JECFA<br />

Secretary for the invaluable support that she had given to<br />

JECFA <strong>and</strong> the CCFA wishing her all the best for her upcoming<br />

retirement from FAO.<br />
