This scientific opinion of EFSA deals with the safety assessment of perfluoro{acetic acid, 2‐[(5‐methoxy‐1, 3‐dioxolan‐4‐yl)oxy]}, ammonium salt, CAS No 1190931‐27‐1, for use as a polymer production aid during the manufacture of fluoropolymers. Specific migration of the substance was not determined. The specific migration of the substance and the two degradation products in polytetrafluoroethylene film were determined and the maximum potential migrations were 0.4 μg/kg food. The CEF Panel concluded there is no safety concern for the consumer if the substance is only to be used as a polymer production aid during the manufacture of fluoropolymers which are produced under high temperature conditions of at least 370 °C and intended for repeated use in contact with all types of foodstuffs under all contact conditions.
