Ábhar

Leagtar síos leis an Rialachán seo rialacha maidir le breiseáin bia d’fhonn feidhmiú éifeachtach an mhargaidh inmheánaigh a áirithiú agus ardleibhéal cosanta do shláinte an duine agus ardleibhéal cosanta don tomhaltóra á n-áirithiú ag an am céanna, lena n-áirítear leasanna an tomhaltóra a chosaint agus cleachtais chothroma i dtrádáil bia, agus cosaint an chomhshaoil á cur san áireamh i gcás inarb iomchuí.

(c) 

rialacha maidir le lipéadú breiseán bia a dhíoltar mar bhreiseáin bia.

Airteagal 2

2.  Ní bheidh feidhm ag an Rialachán seo maidir leis na substaintí seo a leanas mura n-úsáidfear mar bhreiseáin bia iad:

(a) 

áiseanna próiseála;

(b) 

substaintí a úsáidtear chun plandaí agus chun táirgí plandaí a chosaint i gcomhréir leis na rialacha Comhphobail a bhaineann le sláinte plandaí;

(c) 

substaintí a chuirtear le bianna mar chothaithigh;

(d) 

substaintí a úsáidtear chun uisce a chóireáil lena chaitheamh ag an duine agus a thagann faoi raon feidhme Threoir 98/83/CE ón gComhairle an 3 Samhain 1998 maidir le cáilíocht uisce a cheaptar lena chaitheamh ag daoine ( 2 );

(e) 

blastáin a thagann faoi raon feidhme Rialachán (CE) Uimh. 1334/2008 [maidir le blastáin agus maidir le comhábhair áirithe bia a bhfuil airíonna blaistithe acu lena n-úsáid i mbianna agus ar bhianna].

3.  Ní bheidh feidhm ag an Rialachán seo maidir le heinsímí bia a thagann faoi raon feidhme Rialacháin (CE) Uimh. 1332/2008 [maidir le heinsímí bia], le héifeacht ón dáta a glacadh liosta Comhphobail d’einsímí bia i gcomhéir le hAirteagal 17 den Rialachán sin.

4.  Beidh feidhm ag an Rialachán seo gan dochar d’aon rialacha sonracha Comhphobail maidir le húsáid breiseán bia:

2.  Chun críocha an Rialacháin seo, beidh feidhm ag na sainmhínithe seo a leanas freisin:

(a) 

ciallaíonn ‘breiseán bia’ aon substaint nach gcaitear mar bhia ann féin de ghnáth agus nach n-úsáidtear de ghnáth mar shain-chomhábhar bia, bíodh luach cothaithe ann nó ná bíodh, arb é an toradh a bhíonn ar é a chur le bia d’aon ghnó chun críche teicneolaíche, nó an toradh a mbeifí ag súil le réasún a bheadh ar é a chur le bia d’aon ghnó chun críche teicneolaíche, i monarú, i bpróiseáil, in ullmhú, i gcóireáil, i bpacáistiú, in iompar nó i stóráil bia den sórt sin, go ndéantar comhábhar den bhia sin de, nó go ndéantar comhábhar den bhia sin dá fhotháirgí, go díreach nó go hindíreach.

Ní mheastar gur breiseáin bia iad na nithe seo a leanas:

bianna, cibé acu i bhfoirm thriomaithe nó i bhfoirm thiubhaithe, lena n-áirítear blastáin a chorpraítear le linn comhbhianna a mhonarú, mar gheall ar a n-airíonna aramatacha, inbhlasta nó cothaithe mar aon le héifeacht thánaisteach dathaithe;

(iii) 

substaintí a úsáidtear in ábhair chumhdaithe nó in ábhair bhrataithe, nach cuid de bhianna iad agus nach gceaptar lena gcaitheamh i dteannta na mbianna sin;

(iv) 

táirgí a bhfuil peictin iontu agus a dhíorthaítear ó úlla triomaithe meilte nó ó scamhadh torthaí citris nó cainchí, nó ó mheascán díobh, trí ghníomhaíocht aigéid chaoil agus páirtneodrú ina dhiaidh sin le salainn de shóidiam nó de photaisiam (‘peictin leachtach’);

(v) 

bunanna guma coganta;

(vi) 

deistrin bhán nó deistrin bhuí, stáirse rósta nó stáirse deistrinnithe, stáirse arna mhodhnú le cóireáil aigéadach nó le cóireáil alcaileach, stáirse tuartha, stáirse arna mhodhnú go fisiceach agus stáirse arna chóireáil le heinsímí amalalaíteacha;

(vii)

(1)   The term caramel relates to products of a more or less intense brown colour which are intended for colouring. It does not correspond to the sugary aromatic product obtained from heating sugars and which is used for flavouring food (e.g. confectionery, pastry, alcoholic drinks).

(*1)   Canthaxanthin is not authorised in the food categories listed in Part D and E. The substance is in list B1 because it is used in medicinal products in accordance with Directive 2009/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 109, 30.4.2009, p. 10).

General rules for conditions of use of Food additives in Part 5

(1) Food Additives presented in Table 1 of Part 6 of this Annex, which are generally permitted for use in food under the general ‘quantum satis’ principle, included in Annex II Part C(1) Group I, have been included as food additives in nutrients under the general ‘quantum satis’ principle, unless stated otherwise.

(2) For phosphates and silicates, when used as additives, maximum limits have been set only in the nutrient preparation and not in the final food.

(3) For all other food additives with a numerical ADI value maximum limits have been set for the nutrient preparation and the final food.

(4) No food additives are authorised for their function as colour, sweetener or flavour enhancer.
