12/09/2007 - The board of the European Food Standards Authority yesterday said it plans to carve up the workload of its Additives and Food Contact (AFC) panel between two new panels - one for food additives and the other for food contact materials.
The first of the new panels is dubbed 'the panel for food additives and nutrient sources added to food', which will also look at the safety of other substances added to food deliberately.
The second new panel is 'the panel on food contact materials, enzymes, flavourings and processing aids'. It will also be concerned with the safety of substances added indirectly to food, and safety of new processes.
The board of EFSA is now to forward a formal request to split the panel to the European Commission. Its new panels could start work in 2008.
