AFC - Former Panel on additives, flavourings, processing aids and materials in contact with food

On 10 July 2008, the Panel on food additives, flavourings, processing aids and materials in contact with food (AFC Panel) was replaced by two separate 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 two new panels have been created in order to increase further EFSA’s pool of expertise and to enhance processes in a field where output is particularly high.

Previous output from AFC’s risk assessment work is still accessible through  ANS and  CEF web pages.
