The NF consists of seeds of oilseed rape, in particular double lowwhite flowering varieties of Brassica napus (oilseed rape Brassica napus L. emend. Metzg). The NF’soilseed rape is produced following drying, cleaning and storage procedures traditionally used for oilseedrape in oil production. The NF is proposed to be used as an ingredient in ‘Bread and rolls with specialingredients added’ and ‘Gluten free bread’. The target population is the general population. The highestdaily intake of the NF was estimated for young children as 92.6 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day. ThePanel notes that intakes of the NF can result in considerably increased levels of glucosinolatesconsumption as compared to intakes of glucosinolates from background diets. The Panel asked theapplicant for additional studies to support the safety of the NF, but these were not provided. ThePanel concludes that the safety of whole seeds of oilseed rape under the proposed conditions of use hasnot been established.
