The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) will host a workshop on April 28, 2014, in Brussels, to discuss the agency’s work related to the re-evaluation of food additives, as required by Commission Regulation No. 257/2010 of the European Parliament and the Council on Food Additives. With an aim to “engage with interested business operators, scientific experts, the European Commission representatives, EFSA scientific staff and other interested parties,” the workshop will include sessions that address (i) “why, how and when scientific uses, use level data and other information should be made available to EFSA”; and (ii) “the extent to which the engagement of stakeholders during the re evaluation process would be of mutual benefit for EFSA and stakeholders themselves.” Participants may register until April 10, 2014.
