European Communities (Labelling of Additives for use in Foodstuffs) Regulations, 1992. Pays/Territoire Irlande Type du document Règlement Date 1992 Source FAO, FAOLEX Sujet Alimentation et nutrition Mot clé Contrôle de qualité alimentaire/innocuité des produits alimentaires Emballage/étiquetage Additifs alimentaires Aire géographique Îles de l'Océan Atlantique, Europe, Europe et Asie Centrale, Pays de l'Union Européenne, Atlantique Nord, Atlantique du Nord-Est, Europe du Nord Résumé The Regulations specify how foodstuffs, containing additives, must be labelled when intended for sale to the ultimate consumer. These Regulations apply to food additives, the various categories of which are given in Schedule 1 and which are used or intended to be used as ingredients during the manufacture or preparation of a foodstuff and are still present in the final product, even if in altered form. They do not apply, however, to processing aids, substances used in the protection of plants and plant products in conformity with Community rules relating to plant health, and flavourings for use in foodstuffs for human consumption in accordance with the EC (Flavourings for use in Foodstuffs for Human Consumption) Regulations, 1991. Where the Minister for Health is of the view that the use or intended use in foodstuffs of any food additive, although complying with these Regulations, endangers human health she may take appropriate measures including the temporary suspension or restriction of trade in that food or food additive in order to protect public health.
