This report places particular importance on those aspects which aim to ensure food safety, bearing in mind consumer interests and, prominent among them, the desire for food to be as natural as possible.
It is well-known that not all flavourings which are safe from a toxicological point of view are actually beneficial to consumers, hence the need to guarantee the right of the consumer to choose.
In the procedure for the approval of flavourings, ‘reasonable technological need’ is combined with other EU strategies, such as the fight against obesity, as the addition of excessively potent flavourings can mask the poor quality of prepared food.
The Council and Parliament take a different stance on the issue of certain food ingredients with flavouring properties for use in and on foods, and on the maximum levels of those ingredients laid down in Annex III.
We know that the principle of herb and spice producers having to disprove a legal presumption of harmfulness for each product individually is contentious. It would be more logical to turn the procedure around. This issue will continue to be a matter of controversy."@en1
