WARNING
If you notice a mistake in the document, please inform as soon as possible Ms A. Schaefer by e-mail: [email protected] or by fax: +32.2.299.18.56. 1. Any information concerning the evaluation by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and
the SCF should be addressed to EFSA/AFC Panel to Mr D. Spyropoulos (E-mail: [email protected]) (see “EU and National Authorities” document).
2. It is recommended to consult the website of EFSA in order to know the results of the last meetings,
held after the date of the update of the Synoptic document: http://www.efsa.eu.int/science/afc/afc_opinions/catindex_en.html.
3. An explanation of the columns is given in Appendix 1. The meaning of some numbers or asterisks,
which appear in the field “Restrictions and Specifications”, is explained in Appendix 3.
4. This document should be considered as a working document and not as a legal or binding document and therefore it may be subject to relevant updates, changes or modifications.
1. This document contains all the monomers and additives (see an explanation of the terms in the appendix 1 and 2) notified to the European Commission in view of their use in plastic materials intended to come into contact with foodstuffs. It summarises the Community situation and the evaluations of the listed substances carried out by a) the Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) until May 2003 and b) the AFC Panel on food additives, flavourings, processing aids and materials in contact with food of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which replaced the SCF, until 27 April 2005. This document should not be considered the appropriate document to examine the legal situation of surface coatings even if a certain number of substances that are used only in surface coatings appear in this document. The document contains the monomers and additives listed in the inventory list of the Council of Europe Resolution AP (2004) on coatings intended to come into food contact. However, not all substances listed have been evaluated by the SCF or by EFSA.
2. In principle, this document does not contain aids to polymerisation, colorants, inks, adhesives
and solvents, although some may be listed. Moreover, it must be stressed that the substances appearing in this document shall not be considered, at this stage, as the only monomers and additives legally used at Community level because the process of harmonisation of the national lists is ongoing. To know whether or not a substance, which does not appear in the Community directives, is authorised in the Member States, it is necessary to examine national laws or to consult the national authorities, whose address can be found in the document “EU and National Authorities”.
In conclusion this document should be considered as a working document and not as a legal or binding document, and, therefore, it may be subject to relevant modifications (integration, deletion and changes).
3. The Commission services intend to include definitively in the future Community lists, if any, only the substances classified into lists 0-4 by SCF or EFSA. The date when the list of additives (see definition later) becomes a positive list will be fixed before 31 December 2007. The persons interested in a substance classified into SCF lists 6-9, are invited to submit as soon as possible and not later than 31 December 2006 the data requested by EFSA following the recommendations of “Note for Guidance”, included in the website. The authorisation procedure is described in the Framework Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004. For further information on the list of additives see "Practical Guide", Chapter I, Section 3 Paragraph 3.2.
4. At this stage, the Commission services are unable to specify whether the list will be extended
to aids to polymerisation ("substances which directly influence the formation of polymers"), colorants, solvents, inks and adhesives. Therefore any extrapolation of the list to these substances is premature. Moreover, the Commission services can only add a) that the discussion on the type of rules to be applied to these substances will start after the Community lists for monomers and additives for plastics and coatings are adopted and b) that they are unable to specify any date on this matter.
6
5. In principle the Commission services intend to update this document when the relevant number of changes justifies an update (e.g. adoption of a Directive or EFSA opinion). In order to know the last evaluations of the substances, see also the website of EFSA: http://www.efsa.eu.int/science/afc/afc_opinions/catindex_en.html Any information concerning the EFSA evaluation should be addressed to EFSA AFC Panel, to Mr D. Spyropoulos (E-mail: [email protected]) (see “EU and National Authorities” document).
GENERAL INFORMATIONS OR ABBREVIATIONS OF THE MAIN TERMS USED IN THIS DOCUMENT
Monomers and other starting substances “Monomer and other starting substance", means any substance used in the manufacture of a macromolecule, which constitutes the repeating unit of a polymer chain or polymer network of any substance used in the manufacture of a plastic for food contact application. It also includes substances used to modify existing natural or synthetic macromolecular substances. According to Directive 2002/72/EC, Annex 2, paragraph 1, the following substances are included in this definition:
"- substances undergoing polymerisation, which include polycondensation, polyaddition or any other similar process, to manufacture macromolecules;
- natural or synthetic macromolecular substances used in the manufacture of modified macromolecules, if the monomers or the other starting substances required to synthesise them are not included in the list;
- substances used to modify existing natural or synthetic macromolecular substances."
Although the definition and the examples seem very precise, some difficulties arise in the identification of "monomers and other starting substances" in practice. Therefore, it is recommended to read carefully the explanation given in Practical Guide, Chapter I, Section 3, paragraph 2.
Additives See also paragraph 3 of the explanatory note of this document.
The list set out in the Table shall contain all the other substances not included in the definition of monomers and other starting substances and not included in the definition of aids to polymerisation (see below).
Therefore this list shall include:
a) substances which are incorporated into plastics to achieve a technical effect in the finished product; they are intended to be present in the finished articles ("additive");
b) substances used to provide a suitable medium in which polymerisation occurs or substances which directly influence the formation of polymers (conventionally these substances will called "polymer production aids")
8
Therefore this list will include for example the following categories of substances:
"Category I"
- antifoaming agents
- antiskinning agents
- antioxidants
- antistatic agents
- driers
- emulsifiers
- fillers
- flame retardants
- foaming agents
- hardening agents
- impact modifiers
- lubricants
- miscellaneous additives
- optical brighteners
- plasticizers
- preservatives
- protective colloids
- reinforcements
- release agents
- solvents (see paragraph 2 of the Explanatory Note)
- stabilizers
- thickeners
- UV absorbers
9
"Category II"
Polymer production aids - anti-foam reagents/de-gassing agents
- blowing agents
- buffering agents
- build-up suppressants
- dispersing aids
- emulsifiers
- flow control agents
- nucleating agents
- pH regulators
- solvents (see paragraph 2 of the Explanatory Note)
- surfactants
- suspension agents
- stabilisers
- thickening agents
- water treatment reagents
"Category III"
Aids to polymerisation They are "Substances which directly influence the formation of polymers" - accelerators
- catalysts
- catalyst de-activators
- catalyst supports
- catalyst modifiers
- chain scission reagents
- chain transfer or extending agents
- chain stop reagents
- cross-linking agents
- initiators and promoters
- molecular weight regulators
- polymerization inhibitors
- redox agents

EXPLANATION OF THE COLUMNS
A short explanation of the fields and of some abbreviations is given below. Column 1 ("REF_N") This contains the substance reference numbers. Conventionally the following numbers have been assigned:
Monomers: 10000-29999
Additives: >30000
A substance listed as a monomer as well as an additive will be assigned two different REF.N. In some cases, a cross-reference of the REF.N. is inserted in order to find a substance having a synonym, commonly used. Column 2 ("CAS_N") This contains the CAS (Chemical Abstracts Service) registry number, if any. If the substance is a mixture of substances, the CAS number refers to the mixture. Where an indent has been placed in the column, it means that a research for CAS N. has been made, but that the result was negative. If the result of the search was found to be doubtful or that the research has not yet been made, a question mark appears in the column. Where there is inconsistency between the CAS number and the chemical name, the chemical name shall take precedence over the CAS number. If there is inconsistency between the CAS number reported in EINECS and the one in the CAS-Register, the CAS-number in the CAS-Register shall apply. Column 3 ("NAME") This contains the chemical name attributed by the Commission services. In some cases, a cross-reference of the REF.N. is inserted in order to find a substance having a synonym, commonly used (see Column 4) Column 4 ("SYNONIM") This contains the REF.N. of a substance being a synonym, commonly used. Column 5 ("DIR") This indicates that a) the substance is included in the Commission Directive 2002/72/EC, relating to plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (as amended by Directive 2004/1/EC and Directive 2004/19/EC); b) the substance is proposed to be inserted in the next amendment to Directive 2002/72/EC (usually referred as 3rd amendment) or c) the substance was mentioned in previous directives but it was later deleted for a particular reason. There are several reasons why a substance is deleted. For example:
� The substance appears under another more appropriate name � The substance is no longer requested by the petitioner � The individual substance can be covered under a generic name � The generic name has been deleted because the substances have been introduced individually � Deleted because considered as “basic polymer”. Basic polymers mean any polymeric substance, such as
plastic or polymer, which is capable of functioning as the main structural component of finished materials and articles. They are not listed if their monomers are listed and they comply with Article 2 of Framework Directive.
11
The following abbreviations appear in this column: DIR = a) Substance included in the Directive 2002/72/EC of 6 of August 2002 (as last amended) 3AM = b) Substance proposed to be inserted in the 3rd amendment of the Directive 2002/72/EC D = c) Substance previously mentioned in former directives but later deleted for a particular reason Only the monomers and additives which are mentioned in the other document "EU SUBSTANCES" (document available on the website) are considered substances approved at EU level. The other appearing in the table below are substances which likely have been approved at national level but which will not be included in the EU lists if the data requested by EFSA is not supplied on time (see also paragraph 3 of the explanatory note of this document) Column 6 ("RESTRICTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS") This column contains the restrictions and/or specifications for the use of the substance as they appear in the Directive 2002/72/EC and amendments. See also Appendix 2 (definition of the SCF lists) and Appendix 3 (notes related to the column “restrictions and/or specifications”). It may include:
� specific migration limit (SML), � maximum permitted quantity of the substance in the finished material or article (QM), � maximum permitted quantity of the substance in the finished material or article expressed as
mg per 6 dm2 of the surface in contact with foodstuffs (QMA), � other restriction specifically mentioned, � specifications related to the substance or to the polymer.
For some of the substances the Specific migration limits (SML) are specified. SML are obtained by the Commission Services using the following conversions: 1) For substances with an ADI/TDI established - by multiplying the ADI/TDI values by a factor of 60. This factor is derived from the convention that a person of 60 kg daily could ingest up to 1 kg of foodstuffs in contact with a plastic article always containing the considered substance at a concentration corresponding to the SML; 2) For substances where an ADI/TDI is not established – For these cases, restrictions can be mentioned, frequently derived from reduced toxicity dossiers, leading directly to fixed migration limits e.g. R=0.05 or R=5mg/kg food or food simulant. For these substances the SML generally corresponds to the restriction (=R) which appears in the toxicological SCF/EFSA assessment. Sometimes the QMA is mentioned. The relationship between the two restrictions SML and QMA is QMA = SML*kg/6dm2. The value is derived from the SML by assuming a) that the substance migrates completely (% of migration) and b) S/V report equal 6 dm²/1 liter. For substances where the specific migration limits or other restrictions, are not indicated, the overall migration limit of 60 mg/kg or 10 mg/dm2, according to the case, is applied. For other abbreviations see explanation for column 8

Table: Relation between the SCF List, restriction and SML SCF List RESTRICTION
L0 In principle, no restriction L1 SML = ADI x 60 L2 SML = TDI x 60 L3 SML = Restriction (=R) proposed by SCF/EFSA L4 SML = not detectable, detection limit: 10 ppb or 20 ppb (when
analytical tolerance is included) L5 Not authorised
L6A Not authorised L6B Not authorised
Restriction (=R) proposed by SCF/EFSA may be indicated L7 Not established – data needed L8 Not established – data needed L9 Not established – data needed
Note: Only substances classified in L0-L4 appear in the Directives. Column 7 ("SCF_List") This contains the number of the list in which the substance is classified by the EFSA, SCF or by SCF-WG “FCM”. The meanings of the number or other abbreviations, which appear in this column, are described in Appendix 2. When letter “P” appears, this means “Postponed”. If a substance was already evaluated in the past, P clarifies that the previous classification is not longer valable pending the examination of the new data submitted to the SCF/EFSA and a re-evaluation of the substance. Column 8 ("EFSA/SCF OP") This contains the opinion of the SCF or EFSA updated to 27 April 2005. As from September 2002, the SCF changed the format of the opinions. A more extensive and detailed text summarises the historical background of the substances as well as the assessment given by the SCF. Therefore, it has been decided to link the substance directly with the SCF opinion published on Internet and no longer to repeat all the content of the SCF evaluation. For EFSA opinions the proposed restrictions and the remarks for the Commission are indicated and the link for the opinion published on the Internet is also provided. When the substance was re-evaluated by EFSA, only the EFSA opinion is indicated. The link for the previous SCF opinion is in some cases mentioned in the background of the opinion for information. Other abbreviations which may appear in this Column: Ac Substances which is requested to be used only in coatings ADI Acceptable Daily Intake DET Detectable DL Limit of detection FS Food simulants NCO Isocyanate moiety NS Not specified QM Maximum permitted quantity of the "residual" substance in the material or article.
13
QMA maximum permitted quantity of the substance in the finished material or article expressed as mg per 6 dm² of the surface in contact with foodstuffs (QMA). The value is derived from the SML by assuming a) that the substance migrates completely (100 % of migration) and b) S/V report equal 6 dm²/1 liter.
QM (T) Maximum permitted quantity of the "residual" substance in the material or article expressed as total of moiety/ substance(s) indicated.
SML Specific migration limit in foods or in food stimulant. SML (T) Specific migration limit in foods or in food simulant expressed as total of
moiety/substance(s) indicated. The number between brackets which appears after the restriction refers to the Notes appearing in Annex VI of Directive 2002/72/EC.
TDI Tolerable Daily Intake (this is a concept equivalent to the ADI, but applicable only to the packaging sector and not to food additives).
Column 9 ("PL") The sign + means that the substance was requested for plastics. Column 10 ("CT") The sign + means that the substance is listed in the inventory list of the Council of Europe Resolution AP (2004) on coatings intended to come into food contact. Other abbreviations which may appear in the Document: W when it appears in column "SCF_L", it refers to a "new substance". If it is alone, it means
that the substance is not yet evaluated. If it is followed by a number, this number indicates the SCF-L."
? Means that there is a doubt on the information given. FP Finished product (= material or article in finished state)

APPENDIX 2
DEFINITION OF THE SCF LISTS
Substances for which the Committee was able to express an opinion
List 0 Substances, e.g. foods, which may be used in the production of plastic materials and articles, e.g. food ingredients and certain substances known from the intermediate metabolism in man and for which an ADI need not be established for this purpose.
List 1 Substances, e.g. food additives, for which an ADI (=Acceptable Daily Intake), a t-ADI (=temporary ADI), a MTDI (=Maximum Tolerable Daily Intake), a PMTDI (=Provisional Maximum Tolerable Daily Intake), a PTWI (=Provisional Tolerable Weekly Intake) or the classification "acceptable" has been established by this Committee or by JECFA.
List 2 Substances for which a TDI or a t-TDI has been established by this Committee.
List 3 Substances for which an ADI or a TDI could not be established, but where the present use could be accepted.
Some of these substances are self-limiting because of their organoleptic properties or are volatile and therefore unlikely to be present in the finished product. For other substances with very low migration, a TDI has not been set, but the maximum level to be used in any packaging material or a specific limit of migration is stated. This is because the available toxicological data would give a TDI which allows that a specific limit of migration or a composition limit could be fixed at levels very much higher than the maximum likely intakes arising from present uses of the additive.
LIST 4 (for monomers)
Section 4A Substances for which an ADI or TDI could not be established, but which could be used if the substance migrating into foods or in food simulants is not detectable by an agreed sensitive method.
Section 4B Substances for which an ADI or TDI could not be established, but which could be used if the levels of monomer residues in materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs are reduced as much as possible.
LIST 4 (for additives)
Substances for which an ADI or TDI could not be established, but which could be used if the substance migrating into foods or in food simulants is not detectable by an agreed sensitive method.
15
List 5 Substances which should not be used.
List 6 Substances for which there exist suspicions about their toxicity and for which data is lacking or is insufficient.
The allocation of substances to this list is mainly based upon similarity of structure with that of chemical substances already evaluated or known to have functional groups that indicate carcinogenic or other severe toxic properties.
Section 6A: Substances suspected to have carcinogenic properties. These substances should not be detectable in foods or in food simulants by an appropriate sensitive method for each substance.
Section 6B: Substances suspected to have toxic properties (other than carcinogenic). Restrictions may be indicated.
List 7 Substances for which some toxicological data exist, but for which an ADI or a TDI could not be established. The required additional information should be furnished.
List 8 Substances for which no or only scanty and inadequate data was available.
List 9 Substances and groups of substances which could not be evaluated due to lack of specifications (substances) or to lack of adequate description (groups of substances).
Groups of substances should be replaced, where possible, by individual substances actually in use. Polymers for which the data on identity specified in "SCF Guidelines" are not available.
List W "Waiting list". Substances not yet included in the Community lists, as they should be considered "new" substances, i.e. substances never approved at national level. These substances cannot be included in the Community lists, lacking the data requested by the Committee.
In the substances used only for coatings this letter means that the substance is listed in the inventory list of the Council of Europe Resolution AP (2004) on coatings intended to come into food contact and are not evaluated by the SCF or EFSA.
List W7 Substances for which some toxicological data exists, but for which an ADI or a TDI could not be established. The required additional information should be furnished.
List W8 Substances for which no or only scanty and inadequate data was available.
List W9 Substances and groups of substances which could not be evaluated due to lack of specifications (substances) or to lack of an adequate description (groups of substances).

According to Commission Directive 2002/16/EC of 20 February 2002 on the use of certain epoxy derivatives in materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs
2-3 On the basis of the available experimental data, a TDI can be established for BADGE and its hydrolysis products. Considering the NOAEL of 15 mg/kg b.w./day observed in the oral chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity study in the rat with BADGE, and applying an uncertainty factor of 100, a TDI of 0.15 mg/kg b.w. can be established for BADGE. As BADGE is rapidly and extensively metabolised in vivo into the corresponding mono- and bis-diol derivatives, the Panel includes these in the TDI. For the other regulated BADGE reaction products, i.e. the BADGE chlorohydrins BADGE.2HCl, BADGE.HCl, BADGE.HCl.H2O, in view of the lack of genotoxicity, the Panel considers that the current restriction of 1 mg/kg of food remains appropriate. The Panel is aware that other BADGE reaction products, with undefined toxicological properties and chemical identity, may be found at low levels in the migrate from epoxy coatings. For the assessment of these, and in general of minute amounts of unknown migrants from food contact materials, a general approach is currently under consideration by the Panel.

The organism used has not been genetically engineered and has been derived from a single wild-type organism Alcaligenes eutrophus strain H16 NCIMB 10442. Master stocks of the organism are stored as freeze-dried ampoules. A submaster/working stock is prepared from the master stock and stored in liquid nitrogen and used to prepare inocula for the fermenter. Fermenter samples will be examined daily both microscopically and for any changes in colonial morphology on a variety of agars at different temperatures. The copolymers are isolated from heat treated bacteria by controlled digestion of the other cellular components, washing and

2-3 On the basis of the available experimental data, a TDI can be established for BADGE and its hydrolysis products. Considering the NOAEL of 15 mg/kg b.w./day observed in the oral chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity study in the rat with BADGE, and applying an uncertainty factor of 100, a TDI of 0.15 mg/kg b.w. can be established for BADGE. As BADGE is rapidly and extensively metabolised in vivo into the corresponding mono- and bis-diol derivatives, the Panel includes these in the TDI. For the other regulated BADGE reaction products, i.e. the BADGE chlorohydrins BADGE.2HCl, BADGE.HCl, BADGE.HCl.H2O, in view of the lack of genotoxicity, the Panel considers that the current restriction of 1 mg/kg of food remains appropriate. The Panel is aware that other BADGE reaction products, with undefined toxicological properties and chemical identity, may be found at low levels in the migrate from epoxy coatings. For the assessment of these, and in general of minute amounts of unknown migrants from food contact materials, a general approach is currently under consideration by the Panel.

Remark: no accumulation is expected. RIVM SDS, November 2000 = CS/PM/3813/40120. Remark (reasoning for calculating the restriction): Current approach is not setting a TDI based on abovementioned data-package. The restriction is calculated based on the “LOAEL” of 5 mg/kg b.w. (90-day study; change in thymus weight and liver changes) and making use of a safety factor of 500 (10 for intraspecies; 10 for interspecies and 5 for LOAEL to NOAEL). Body weight of 60 kg is used in the calculation. (Adopted at the 128th SCF meeting, 12 July 2001)

see 49600 3AM 2 L2 for tin Isooctyl refers to industrial mixture including substances with a branched chain of 8 atoms of carbon. Usually, x-methyl-C7, x,y-dimethyl-C6 are the major components of an isooctyl “mixture” (more than 90%). x-ethyl-C6 are present but not in a large quantities (less than 10%). The composition of this mixture could be slightly different according the oil feedstock used for the synthesis of it and of the process used for the “oxo” reaction.. In contrast, ethylhexyl (ethyl-C6) refers usually to 2-ethylhexyl structure which is perfectly defined chemically.
In the scope of organotin compounds for which the toxicity is related to organic tin, studies done either with the “isooctyl” or the “ethylhexyl” could be used for evaluation of branched C8 organotin compounds.

(MBT) The Committee has received a request to comment on the safety of the proposed CEN extraction limit for MBT from rubber materials used for soothers and teats. - Considering that on the basis of well-conducted genotoxicity studies the previously expressed concern of possible carcinogenic effects related to the migration of low amounts of MBT from finished products can now be discounted. - Considering that based on the limit of 8 mg MBT/kg rubber extracted over 24 hours as proposed by CEN, a worst case exposure to MBT was calculated not to exceed 22 ug/kg b.w. for a baby weighing 2 kg, fed 8 times a day using a new teat of 5 g at each occasion and - In view of the existing toxicological studies, albeit insufficient for establishing a TDI, which show a NOAEL of 94 mg/kg b.w. from a 90-day oral mouse study leading to a margin of safety of around 4200, The Committee concludes that the potential oral exposure to MBT resulting from materials in compliance with the proposed CEN limit of 8 mg/kg rubber extracted over a 24 hour period does not constitute a health hazard. However, the Committee is aware that MBT has been reported, primarily in occupational settings, to induce sensitisation after dermal contact. As this issue is not related to food safety it is considered to be outside the remit of the Committee. Therefore the SCF recommends that the Commission seeks appropriate advice to consider whether direct contact exposure to MBT, through teats and soothers, constitutes a sensitisation hazard.

Usually, x-methyl-C7, x,y-dimethyl-C6 are the major components of an isooctyl “mixture” (more than 90%). x-ethyl-C6 are present but not in a large quantities (less than 10%). The composition of this mixture could be slightly different according the oil feedstock used for the synthesis of it and of the process used for the “oxo” reaction.. In contrast, ethylhexyl (ethyl-C6) refers usually to 2-ethylhexyl structure which is perfectly defined chemically. In the scope of organotin compounds for which the toxicity is related to organic tin, studies done either with the “isooctyl” or the “ethylhexyl” could be used for evaluation of branched C8 organotin compounds.

3 Group R: 5 mg/kg of food (with thiodipropionic acid, dioctadecyl ester=93280) Available: Adequate migration data from PVC and ABS; acute toxicity data; 28-day oral rat study; 90-day oral rat study; inadequate data on long-term toxicity; three oral teratogenicity studies using mice, hamsters and rabbits; studies on absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion; peroxisome proliferation study (this study deviated from the SCF guidelines on peroxisomal proliferation); two Ames assays (negative); in vitro chromosomal aberration assay (negative); gene mutation assay in mouse limphoma cells (negative). Remark: Data insufficient for allocating a TDI (no reproduction study and no long-term study). The WG decided not to ask for a new peroxisome proliferation study, since the 90-day study showed only increased liver weights (no morphological changes) at very high doses (1000 mg/kg b.w.). In view of the structure of the compound and the metabolism data provided there is no need for demonstration of the absence of potential for accumulation.

RIVM/ISS/TNO SDS, January 2000 = CS/PM/2966 REV.II/93760. Remark for Commission: since high migration into fat has been demonstrated with the exception of PET, it was recommended that the Commission take the necessary measures so that the restriction proposed is not exceeded. http://europa.eu.int/comm/food/fs/sc/scf/out10_en.pdf
3 Restriction: 5 mg/kg of food Remark for Commission: - Migration could exceed 5 mg/kg of food - The use of this substance should not lead to a lowering of hygienic standards in food handling - The Fat (consumption) Reduction Factor is not applicable despite log Po/w = 4.8, because migration in aqueous simulants maybe higher than 10 % of the SML allocated to this substance,i.e. 5 ppm. - Concerning efficacy, none of the data submitted demonstrated whether there is a significant effect on microbial numbers under in-use conditions of triclosan and to what extent the substance might contribute to reduce cross contamination. - The Panel noted that no data were submitted to demonstrate activity against common food pathogens such as Campylobacter spp. http://www.efsa.eu.int/science/afc/afc_opinions/11/opinion_afc_07_en1.pdf http://europa.eu.int/comm/food/fs/sc/scf/out62_en.pdf
