Draft Commission Regulation amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the use of food additives in edible caseinates (Text with EEA relevance) |
| Summary |
Directive (EU) 2015/2203 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on the approximation of the laws of the member States relating to caseins and caseinates intended for human consumption and repealing Council Directive 83/417/EEC provides clarity as regards the classification of certain substances in edible caseinates which are considered food additives.
The provisions on food additives in Directive (EU) 2015/2203 should be reflected in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 on food additives. Edible caseinates belong to
dairy products. However, that group is not specified in. Therefore, a food category "Edible caseinates" should be established and the additives authorised in edible caseinates should be included with the respective conditions of use.
The transfer will ensure legal clarity and does not introduce new uses of food additives.
