Article 6General conditions for inclusion and use of food additives in Community lists1.

A food additive may be included in the Community lists in Annexes II and III only if it meets the following conditions and, where relevant, other legitimate factors, including environmental factors:

(a)

it does not, on the basis of the scientific evidence available, pose a safety concern to the health of the consumer at the level of use proposed;

preserving the nutritional quality of the food;

(b)

providing necessary ingredients or constituents for foods manufactured for groups of consumers with special dietary needs;

3.

By way of derogation from paragraph 2(a), a food additive which reduces the nutritional quality of a food may be included in the Community list in Annex II provided that:

(a)

the food does not constitute a significant component of a normal diet; or

(b)

the food additive is necessary for the production of foods for groups of consumers with special dietary needs.

Article 7Specific conditions for sweeteners

A food additive may be included in the Community list in Annex II for the functional class of sweetener only if, in addition to serving one or more of the purposes set out in Article 6(2), it serves one or more of the following purposes:

(a)

replacing sugars for the production of energy-reduced food, non-cariogenic food or food with no added sugars; or

(b)

replacing sugars where this permits an increase in the shelf-life of the food; or

(c)

producing food intended for particular nutritional uses as defined in Article 1(2)(a) of Directive 89/398/EEC.

Article 8Specific conditions for colours

A food additive may be included in the Community list in Annex II for the functional class of colour only if, in addition to serving one or more of the purposes set out in Article 6(2), it serves one of the following purposes:

(a)

restoring the original appearance of food of which the colour has been affected by processing, storage, packaging and distribution, whereby visual acceptability may have been impaired;

(b)

making food more visually appealing;

(c)

giving colour to food otherwise colourless.

Article 9Functional classes of food additives1.

Food additives may be assigned in Annexes II and III to one of the functional classes in Annex I on the basis of the principal technological function of the food additive.

Allocating a food additive to a functional class shall not preclude it from being used for several functions.

2.

Where necessary, as a result of scientific progress or technological development, the measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation, relating to additional functional classes which may be added to Annex I shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 28(3).

Article 10The content of the Community lists of food additives1.

A food additive which complies with the conditions set out in Articles 6, 7 and 8 may, in accordance with the procedure referred to in Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 [establishing a common authorisation procedure for food additives, food enzymes and food flavourings] be included in:

the Community list in Annex II to this Regulation; and/or

(b)

the Community list in Annex III to this Regulation.

2.

The entry for a food additive in the Community lists in Annexes II and III shall specify:

(a)

the name of the food additive and its E number;

Article 11Levels of use of food additives1.

When establishing the conditions of use referred to in Article 10(2)(c):

(a)

the level of use shall be set at the lowest level necessary to achieve the desired effect;

(b)

the levels shall take into account:

(i)

any acceptable daily intake, or equivalent assessment, established for the food additive and the probable daily intake of it from all sources;

(ii)

where the food additive is to be used in foods eaten by special groups of consumers, the possible daily intake of the food additive by consumers in those groups.

2.

Where appropriate, no maximum numerical level shall be fixed for a food additive (quantum satis). In that case, the food additive shall be used in accordance with the principle of quantum satis.

3.

The maximum levels of food additives set out in Annex II shall apply to the food as marketed, unless otherwise stated. By way of derogation from this principle, for dried and/or concentrated foods which need to be reconstituted the maximum levels shall apply to the food as reconstituted according to the instructions on the label taking into account the minimum dilution factor.
