The act entered into force on 10 October 2021.
Verisk 3E Review
The new regulation amends Annex I, Part A, Section 2, Table 1 to Regulation (EC) No. 1334/2008 by adding a new food flavoring—FL No. 16.127. The authorization of the new food flavoring is accompanied by various restrictions for the respective food categories that are specified in the amendment.
In its opinion of 21 June 2016, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded that the use of the new FL No. 16.127 does not give rise to safety concerns when limited to levels up to those specified in the text, and it is not expected to mislead the consumer.
