This scientific opinion of EFSA deals with the risk assessment of the following monomers: 1 3,4‐Diacetoxy‐1‐butene, CAS No. 18085‐02‐4, REF. No. 15180 for which the CEF Panel concluded that there is no safety concern for the consumer if the substance is used as a comonomer for the manufacture of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymers (EVOH) and the migration of the substance together with its hydrolysis product, 3,4‐dihydroxy‐1‐butene, is up to 0.05 mg/kg food. 3‐Methyl‐1, 5‐pentanediol, CAS No. 4457‐71‐0, REF. No. 22074 for which the CEF Panel concluded that there is no safety concern for the consumer if the substance is used in materials in contact with food at a surface to mass ratio up to 0.5 dm²/kg (e.g. sealing gaskets) and its migration is up to 0.05 mg/kg. The opinion of the Panel for each substance was based on data in the dossiers provided by industry.
