^a Most of the categories reported are the sub‐categories of Codex GSFA (General Standard for Food Additives, available at https://www.fao.org/gsfaonline/foods/index.html) used by the JECFA (FAO/WHO, 2008).

^b

In case of foods marketed as powder or as concentrates, occurrence levels have been reported for the reconstituted product, considering the instructions reported on the product label or one of the standard dilution factors established by the JECFA (FAO/WHO, 2008):

• 1/25 for powder used to prepare water‐based drinks such as coffee, containing no additional ingredients,
• 1/10 for powder used to prepare water‐based drinks containing additional ingredients such as sugars (ice tea, squashes, etc.),
• 1/7 for powder used to prepare milk, soups and puddings,
• 1/3 for condensed milk.

^c In order to estimate normal values in each category, only foods and beverages in which the substance is present in significant amount have been considered (in each category, the normal concentration is the median concentration observed in all foods within it where the flavouring substance is known to occur).

^d The applicant reported the Codex code 14.2.2 for the food category ‘Grape wines’ according to EFSA Guidance on the data required for the risk assessment of flavourings to be used in or on foods (EFSA CEF Panel, 2010a). The updated Codex code for the food category ‘Grape wines’ is 14.2.3 according to Codex GSFA.
