Where the regulation applies

The regulation applies to food additives, flavourings and processing aids. Applicable conditions depend on the substance’s function and the food category in which it is used.

What the regulation covers

Review covers permitted use, purity, contaminants and applicable restrictions. Dosage and labelling are checked against the formulation and intended purpose of the final food.

Examples of products and facilities

  • food colours
  • preservatives
  • sweeteners
  • emulsifiers
  • food flavourings
  • enzyme preparations for food production

These examples are indicative. Applicability depends on intended use, specifications and the regulation’s exclusions.

Documentation we help prepare

PLANCK reviews specifications, blend compositions, dosage recommendations and label artwork and helps identify the assessment route and prepare the required documentation.

Before selecting a route, we check the current text, effective date, transitional provisions and exclusions. Listing a regulation does not mean it already applies to every product in that category.

What to prepare

  • Technical description and intended use
  • The key parameters listed above
  • Models, manufacturer and applicant details
  • Existing conformity evidence

What you receive

A requirements matrix for your product: scope, assessment route, necessary evidence and next actions.
