EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND COUNCIL DIRECTIVE No 95/2/EC of 20 February 1995 on food additives other than colours and sweeteners
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 100a thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1), Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (2), Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 189b of the Treaty (3), Having regard to the Council Directive 89/107/EEC of 21 December 1988 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States concerning food additives authorized for use in foodstuffs intended for human consumption (4), and in particular Article 3 (2) thereof, Whereas differences between national laws relating to preservatives, antioxidants and other additives and their conditions of use hinder the free movement of foodstuffs; whereas this may create conditions of unfair competition; Whereas the prime consideration for any rules on these food additives and their conditions of use should be the need to protect the consumer; Whereas it is generally recognized that unprocessed foodstuffs and certain other foodstuffs should be free from food additives; Whereas, having regard to the most recent scientific and toxicological information on these substances, some of them are to be permitted only for certain foodstuffs and under certain conditions of use; Whereas it is necessary to lay down strict rules for the use of food additives in infant formulae, follow-on formulae and weaning foods, as referred to in Council Directive 89/398/EEC of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to foodstuffs intended for particular nutritional uses (5), and in particular Article 4 (1) (e) thereof;

ANNEX VI FOOD ADDITIVES PERMITTED IN FOODS FOR INFANTS AND YOUNG CHILDREN Note Formulae and weaning foods for infants and young children may contain E 414 (acacia gum, gum arabic) and E 551 (silicon dioxide) resulting from the addition of nutrient preparations containing not more than 150 g/kg of E 414 and 10 g/kg of E 551, as well as E 421 (mannitol) when used as a carrier for vitamin B12 (not less than one part vitamin B12 to 1 000 parts mannitol). The carry over of E 414 in the product ready for consumption should not be more than 10 mg/kg. Formulae and weaning foods for infants and young children may contain E 301 (sodium L-ascorbate), used at QS level in coatings of nutrient preparations containing polyunsaturated fatty acids. The carry over of E 301 in the product ready for consumption should not be more than 75 mg/l. The maximum levels of use indicated refer to foodstuffs ready for consumption prepared following manufacturers instructions. PART 1 FOOD ADDITIVES PERMITTED IN INFANT FORMULAE FOR INFANTS IN GOOD HEALTH Notes 1. For the manufacture of acidified milks, non-pathogenic L(+)-lactic acid producing cultures may be used. If more than one of the substances E 322, E 471, E 472c and E 473 are added to a foodstuff, the maximum level established for that foodstuff for each of those substances is lowered with that relative part as is present of the other substances together in that foodstuff.
