(b) in a foodstuff where a flavouring has been added, to the extent to which the food additive is permitted in the flavouring in compliance with this Directive and has been carried over to the foodstuff via the flavouring, provided the food additive has no technological function in the final foodstuff; or
(c) if the foodstuff is destined to be used solely in the preparation of a compound foodstuff and to an extent such that the compound foodstuff conforms to the provisions of this Directive.]
2.Paragraph 1 does not apply to infant formulae, follow-on formulae and [F2processed cereal-based foods and baby foods], as referred to in Directive 89/398/EEC, except where specially provided for.
