Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes

Panel on food contact materials, enzymes, flavourings and processing aids (CEF). Scientific opinion on the safety evaluation of the active substances, sodium borohydride and palladium acetate for use in active food contact materials, Eur. Food Saf Authority. 2012. 10, 2642—2657. 

Panel on Food Additives, Flavourings, Processing aids and Flavourings, and Materials in Contact with Food (AFC) and since July 2008 the EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (CEF). 

EFSA was established in 2002 in response to several food crises of the 1990s (e.g., bovine spongiform encephalopathy—mad cow disease). It is intended as an independent source of scientific opinion in the area of food safety, and consults with the EC in its risk management decisions. EFSA works together with external experts who make up their thematically organized scientific panels. The Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (CEF) reviews FCS applications and publishes publicly accessible scientific opinions on each substance. EFSA s scientific opinions are either based on requests by Member States, the EC, the E.U. Parliament, or are self-mandated.
