Press Release: European Commission proposes new uses of food additives and improved rules for flavourings

The European Commission adopted a proposal on 29 November 2002 to amend Directive 95/2, dealing with food additives other than colours and sweeteners. The amendment proposes the harmonisation at EU level of the use of food additives in flavourings in order to reduce unfair competition in this area and better serve the consumer. At the same time, the use of one new food additive will be allowed, as well as new uses of already authorised food additives.
