Addition of Certain other Substances

Article 8 of the Regulation gives the possibility to put under scrutiny and, if necessary, to restrict the use of substances added to foods or used in the manufacture of foods under conditions that would result in the ingestion of amounts greatly exceeding those reasonably expected to be ingested under normal conditions of consumption of a balanced and varied diet and/or would otherwise represent a potential risk to consumers.
