EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Regulation 2 amends Regulation (EC) No. 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on food additives (EUR 2008/1333) to add a new food additive, amend the conditions of use for an existing food additive, and makes consequential amendments and corrections.
Regulation 3 amends Commission Regulation (EU) No. 231/2012 laying down specifications for food additives listed in Annexes II and III of Regulation (EC) No. 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (EUR 2012/231) to set a maximum limit for ethylene oxide in all food additives, add a new production method for an existing additive and makes a consequential change to subcategorise the E numbers for that additive.

Regulation 5 creates a transitional measure to allow the 22 flavouring substances and foods containing them to remain on the market, and be added to foods, if already present in the United Kingdom or in transit to Great Britain before the authorisation was removed and to allow foods to which they are added to be placed on the market, and used, until they reach their date of minimum durability.
