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 />
