COUNCIL of 16 December 2008 on food additives (Text with EEA relevance) THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1 ), Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (2 ), Whereas: (1) The free movement of safe and wholesome food is an essential aspect of the internal market and contributes significantly to the health and well-being of citizens, and to their social and economic interests. (2) A high level of protection of human life and health should be assured in the pursuit of Community policies. (3) This Regulation replaces previous Directives and Decisions concerning food additives permitted for use in foods with a view to ensuring the effective functioning of the internal market whilst ensuring a high level of protection of human health and a high level of consumer protection, including the protection of consumer interests, via comprehensive and streamlined procedures. (4) This Regulation harmonises the use of food additives in foods in the Community. This includes the use of food additives in foods covered by Council Directive 89/398/EEC of 3 May 1989 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to food­ stuffs intended for particular nutritional uses (3 ) and the use of certain food colours for the health marking of meat and the decoration and stamping of eggs. It also harmonises the use of food additives in food additives and food enzymes thus ensuring their safety and quality and facilitating their storage and use. This has not previously been regulated at Community level. (1 ) OJ C 168, 20.7.2007, p. 34. (2 ) Opinion of the European Parliament of 10 July 2007 (OJ C 175 E, 10.7.2008, p. 142), Council Common Position of 10 March 2008 (OJ C 111 E, 6.5.2008, p. 10), Position of the European Parliament of 8 July 2008 (not yet published in the Official Journal) and Council Decision of 18 November 2008. (3 ) OJ L 186, 30.6.1989, p. 27. 2008R1333 — EN — 21.04.2015 — 022.001 — 4 ▼B (5) Food additives are substances that are not normally consumed as food itself but are added to food intentionally for a technological purpose described in this Regulation, such as the preservation of food. All food additives should be covered by this Regulation, and therefore in the light of scientific progress and technological development the list of functional classes should be updated. However, substances should not be considered as food additives when they are used for the purpose of imparting flavour and/or taste or for nutritional purposes, such as salt replacers, vitamins and minerals. Moreover, substances considered as foods which may be used for a technological function, such as sodium chloride or saffron for colouring and food enzymes should also not fall within the scope of this Regu­ lation. However, preparations obtained from foods and other natural source material that are intended to have a technological effect in the final food and which are obtained by selective extraction of constituents (e.g. pigments) relative to the nutritive or aromatic constituents, should be considered additives within the meaning of this Regulation. Finally, food enzymes are covered by Regulation (EC) No 1332/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on food enzymes (1 ), which excludes the application of this Regu­ lation. (6) Substances not consumed as food itself but used intentionally in the processing of foods, which only remain as residues in the final food and do not have a technological effect in the final product (processing aids), should not be covered by this Regu­ lation.

  • Active and Intelligent Packaging: Innovations for the Future
    1 Active and Intelligent Packaging: Innovations for the Future By Karleigh Huff Graduate Student Department of Food Science and Technology Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) Blacksburg, Va 2 Introduction Food packaging exists to make our lives easier. We need packaging to contain foods, protect foods from the outside environment, for convenience, and to communicate information to consumers about the food inside the package. Containment is the most basic function of a package. Even fresh produce, which is displayed unpackaged at the store, must be transported out of the store in some type of container. Packaging provides protection of food from adulteration by water, gases, microorganisms, dust, and punctures, to name a few. A food package communicates important information about the product, how to prepare it, and information about the nutritional content. Packaging also allows for consumers to enjoy food the way they want, at their convenience. Food packages can be geared toward a persons own lifestyle through designs like portability and single serving dishes. Although traditional packaging covers the basic needs of food containment, advances in food packaging are both anticipated and expected. Society is becoming increasingly complex and innovative packaging is the result of consumers© demand for packaging that is more advanced and creative than what is currently offered. Active packaging and intelligent packaging are the result of innovating thinking in packaging. Defining Active Packaging and Intelligent Packaging To understand what active and intelligent packaging have to offer the world of packaging, it is important to clarify what each phrase means. Active packaging is accurately defined as ªpackaging in which subsidiary constituents have been deliberately included in or on either the packaging material or the package headspace to enhance the performance of the package systemº (Robertson, 2006).

Taking a leaf out of nature’s book, AGA provides innovative solutions to seal in the natural freshness and flavor of foodstuffs – without the use of chemical preservatives. Winning the race against time Nowadays, good food has to be healthy, minimally processed and attractively packaged – as consumers’ expectations from foodstuffs are continuously rising. Consequently, demands on food producers and producers of packaging machines and materials are increasing too. The consumer of today reacts sensitively when it comes to artificial additives. There is a strong trend towards being able to purchase and prepare fresh foodstuffs and readymade dishes at any time, as if they came directly from the food manufacturer. Food safety and easy access to all kinds of foodstuffs are very important. Therefore, it is becoming more and more difficult to meet consumers’ great expectations.
