(a)

In case a constituent of the Primary Product is an authorised flavouring substance (FL‐no), the assigned chemical name corresponds to the respective entry in the EU Union List of flavourings. Deviating chemical names reported by the applicant in the dossier are given in brackets, if applicable.

(b)

From the analysis of the six batches presented in Table 1.

(c)

[FL‐no: 04.055] refers to the mixture of E/Z stereoisomers of 2,6‐dimethoxy‐4‐prop‐1‐enylphenol.

(d)

[FL‐no: 04.004] refers to the mixture of E/Z stereoisomers of isoeugenol.

(e)

[FL‐no: 07.056] refers to the mixture of the tautomeric forms of 3‐methylcyclopentan‐1,2‐dione.

(f)

‘Former FL‐number’ refers to substances that were initially included in the evaluation programme but were not included or were removed/withdrawn from the Union List.
