However, in the case of products manufactured from three or more fruits, the indication of the fruits used may be replaced by the words ‘ several fruits ’ or a similar wording, or by the number of fruits used.]

The restoration of the products defined in part I of Annex I to their original state, by means of the substances strictly necessary for this operation, shall not entail an obligation to enter on the labels a list of the ingredients used for this purpose.

6.

Without prejudice to Article 7(2) and (5) of Directive 2000/13/EC for mixtures of fruit juice and fruit juice from concentrate, and for fruit nectar obtained entirely or partly from one or more concentrated products, the labelling shall bear the words ‘[F3 from concentrate(s)]’ or ‘[F3 partially from concentrate(s)]’, as appropriate.
