On 16 December 2008 a legislative package of four Regulations was adopted by the EuropeanParliament and Council, consisting of regulation (EC) No 1332 ff /2008 on food additives, food enzymes, flavourings and on a common procedure for evaluation and authorisation of these substances (EC) No 1331 /2008.Food

Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 on food additives replaced previous Directives.

Food additives should be approved and used only if they fulfill the criteria laid down in this regulation.

BSL BIOSERVICE offers the full service to assess the biological and toxicological data under GLP-compliance according to the current EC guidance (guidance on submission for food additive evaluations by the scientific committee on food, 2001) and the scientific statement of the panel on food additives and nutrient sources added to food on data requirements for the evaluation of food additives applications (EFSA Journal 2009).
