WTO code	G/SPS/N/EU/497
Date notice	26/07/2021
Notice type	Regular
Title	Commission Regulation (EU) 2021/1156 of 13 July 2021 amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 as regards steviol glycosides (E 960) and rebaudioside M produced via enzyme modification of steviol glycosides from Stevia
Summary	The text aims at updating the current authorisation of the food additive steviol glycosides (E 960) and to authorise rebaudioside M produced via enzyme modification of steviol glycosides from Stevia in the European Union. The Annex to Regulation No 231/2012 (specifications for food additives) is amended accordingly, in line with the conclusion of the evaluation of the safety of this food additive by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which concluded that the new additive does not raise safety concern at the same proposed uses and use levels as steviol glycosides (E 960). In the interest of clarity and coherence, the currently authorised food additive 'steviol glycosides (E 960)' is renamed as 'Steviol glycosides from Stevia (E 960a)'and 'rebaudioside M produced via enzyme modification of steviol glycosides from Stevia' is assigned E 960c(i) as an E-number. As those food additives may be regulated combined, a new group for steviol glycosides, including both of them, is inserted in Part C of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, and all entries for steviol glycosides (E 960) in Part E of Annex II to that Regulation are replaced accordingly, while maintaining the currently applicable uses and maximum level for authorised uses and use levels.
