~~Article 1~~1.This Directive is a specific Directive forming a part of the comprehensive Directive, within the meaning of Article 3 of Directive 89/107/EEC, and applies to additives other than colours and sweeteners. It does not apply to enzymes other than those mentioned in the Annexes,2.~~Only additives which satisfy the requirements laid down by the Scientific Committee for Food may be used in foodstuffs.~~3.~~For the purpose of this Directive:(a)"preservatives" are substances which prolong the shelf-life of foodstuffs by protecting them against deterioration caused by micro-organisms;(b)"antioxidants" are substances which prolong the shelf-life of foodstuffs by protecting them against deterioration caused by oxidation, such as fat rancidity and colour changes;(c)~~"carriers", including carrier solvents, are substances used to dissolve, dilute, disperse or otherwise physically modify a food additive or flavouring without altering its function (and without exerting any technological effect themselves) in order to facilitate its handling, application or use;~~(d)"acids" are substances which increase the acidity of a foodstuff and/or impart a sour taste to it;(e)"acidity regulators" are substances which alter or control the acidity or alkalinity of a foodstuff;(f)"anti-caking agents" are substances which reduce the tendency of individual particles of a foodstuff to adhere to one another;(g)"anti-foaming agents" are substances which prevent or reduce foaming;(h)"bulking agents" are substances which contribute to the volume of a foodstuff without contributing significantly to its available energy value;(i)"emulsifiers" are substances which make it possible to form or maintain a homogenous mixture of two or more immiscible phases such as oil and water in a foodstuff;(j)"emulsifying salts" are substances which convert proteins contained in cheese into a dispersed form and thereby bring about homogenous distribution of fat and other components;(k)"firming agents" are substances which make or keep tissues of fruit or vegetables firm or crisp, or interact with gelling agents to produce or strengthen a gel;(l)"flavour enhancers" are substances which enhance the existing taste and/or odour of a foodstuff;(m)"foaming agents" are substances which make it possible to form a homogenous dispersion of a gaseous phase in a liquid or solid foodstuff;(n)"gelling agents" are substances which give a foodstuff texture through formation of a gel;(o)"glazing agents" (including lubricants) are substances which, when applied to the external surface of a foodstuff, impart a shiny appearance or provide a protective coating;(p)~~"humectants" are substances which prevent foodstuffs from drying out by counteracting the effect of an atmosphere having a low degree of humidity, or promote the dissolution of a powder in an aqueous medium;~~(q)~~"modified starches" are substances obtained by one or more chemical treatments of edible starches, which may have undergone a physical or enzymatic treatment, and may be acid or alkali thinned or bleached;~~(r)"packaging gases" are gases other than air, introduced into a container before, during or after the placing of a foodstuff in that container;(s)"propellants" are gases other than air which expel a foodstuff from a container;(t)"raising agents" are substances or combinations of substances which liberate gas and thereby increase the volume of a dough or a batter;(u)"sequestrants" are substances which form chemical complexes with metallic ions;(v)~~"stabilisers" are substances which make it possible to maintain the physico-chemical state of a foodstuff; stabilisers include substances which enable the maintenance of a homogenous dispersion of two or more immiscible substances in a foodstuff, substances which stabilise, retain or intensify an existing colour of a foodstuff and substances which increase the binding capacity of the food, including the formation of cross-links between proteins enabling the binding of food pieces into re-constituted food;~~(w)"thickeners" are substances which increase the viscosity of a foodstuff.~~4.~~Flour treatment agents other than emulsifiers are substances which are added to flour or dough to improve its baking quality.~~5.~~For the purposes of this Directive the following are not considered as food additives:(a)substances used for treatment of drinking water as provided for in Directive 80/778/EECOJ No L 229, 30. 8. 1980, p. 11.

~~Article 3~~1.~~The presence of a food additive is permissible:(a)in a compound foodstuff other than one mentioned in Article 2(3), to the extent to which the food additive is permitted in one of the ingredients of the compound foodstuff;(b)~~in a foodstuff where a flavouring has been added, to the extent to which the food additive is permitted in the flavouring in compliance with this Directive and has been carried over to the foodstuff via the flavouring, provided the food additive has no technological function in the final foodstuff; or~~(c)if the foodstuff is destined to be used solely in the preparation of a compound foodstuff and to an extent such that the compound foodstuff conforms to the provisions of this Directive.~~2.~~Paragraph 1 does not apply to infant formulae, follow-on formulae and processed cereal-based foods and baby foods, as referred to in Directive 89/398/EEC, except where specially provided for.~~3.The level of additives in flavourings shall be limited to the minimum necessary to guarantee the safety and quality of flavourings and to facilitate their storage. Furthermore, the presence of additives in flavourings must not mislead consumers or present a hazard to their health. If the presence of an additive in a foodstuff, as a consequence of adding flavourings, has a technological function in the foodstuff, it shall be considered as an additive of the foodstuff and not as an additive of the flavouring.

~~Article 4This Directive shall apply without prejudice to specific Directives permitting additives listed in the Annexes to be used as sweeteners or colours.~~

~~Article 5Where necessary, it may be decided by the procedure laid down in Article 6 of this Directive:whether a particular foodstuff not categorized at the moment this Directive was adopted belongs to a category of foodstuffs referred to in Article 2 or in one of the Annexes, orwhether a food additive listed in the Annexes and authorized at "quantum satis" is used in accordance with the criteria referred to in Article 2, orwhether a substance is a food additive within the meaning of Article 1.~~
