Competing interests: M.-L. Binderup declared an interest as she prepared the evaluation report of the substance under contract of her Institute DTU with EFSA. This was considered as a conflict of interest because she could not act at the same time as a representative of the contractor and a member of the Panel with voting rights. She was allowed to stay in the room to answer questions specifically addressed to her but did not participate in the discussion of the opinion.

Abstract

This scientific opinion of EFSA deals with the risk assessment of the additive 2,4-diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine, CAS No. 56-06-4, REF. No. 46330 for which the CEF Panel concluded that there is no safety concern for the consumer if the substance is used only in rigid poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) in contact with non-acidic and non-alcoholic aqueous food and its migration is up to 5 mg/kg food.
