Title |
Ordinance on additives (F: Ordonnance du DFI sur les additifs admis dans les denrées alimentaires / D: Verordnung des EDI über die zulässigen Zusatzstoffe in Lebensmitteln) |
Summary |
The text removes the authorization to use titanium dioxide (E 171) in foods based on the recent scientific opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluding that titanium dioxide can no longer be considered as safe when used as a food additive.
In order to allow for a smooth transition, the text lays down that foods that contain titanium dioxide (E 171) used in accordance with the rules applicable before the date of entry into force of the ordinance may be placed on the market until six months after that date. Those foods may then continue to be marketed until their date of minimum durability or "use by" date.
