COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 923/2014 of 25 August 2014 amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the use of aluminium lakes of riboflavins (E 101) and cochineal, carminic acid, carmines (E 120) in certain food categories and Annex to Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 as regards the specifications for riboflavins (E 101) (Text with EEA relevance) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on food additives (1), and in particular Article 10(3) and Article 14, Whereas: (1) Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 lays down a Union list of food additives approved for use in foods and their conditions of use. (2) Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 (2) lays down specifications for food additives listed in Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008. (3)The Union list of food additives and the specifications may be updated in accordance with the common procedure referred to in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council either on the initiative of the Commission or following an application (3). (4)The European Food Safety Authority (hereinafter: ‘the Authority’), in its opinion of 22 May 2008 (4) recommended to lower the tolerable weekly intake (TWI) for aluminium to 1 mg/kg body weight/week. In addition, the Authority considered that the revised TWI was generally exceeded for high consumers, especially children, in a significant part of the Union. In order to ensure that the revised TWI is not exceeded, the conditions of use and the use levels for food additives containing aluminium, including aluminium lakes were amended by Commission Regulation (EU) No 380/2012 (5). (5) Regulation (EU) No 380/2012 provides that aluminium lakes prepared from all colours listed in Table 1 of Part B of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 are authorised until 31 July 2014. From 1 August 2014 only aluminium lakes prepared from the colours listed in Table 3 of Part A of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 are authorised and only in those food categories where provisions on maximum limits on aluminium coming from lakes are explicitly stated in Part E of that Annex. (6) Applications for authorisation of the use of aluminium lakes of riboflavins (E 101) and the extension of use of aluminium lakes of cochineal, carminic acid, carmines (E 120) were submitted in the course of 2013 and have been made available to the Member States pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008. While considering the applications a special attention was paid to a possible exposure to aluminium in order not to undermine Regulation (EU) No 380/2012. (7) In aluminium lakes of colours the dye is rendered insoluble and functions differently to its dye equivalent (e.g. improved light, pH and heat stability, preventing colour bleed and providing a different colour shade to dye colours) making the lake form suitable for certain specific technical applications. 26.8.2014 L 252/11 Official Journal of the European Union EN (1)OJ L 354, 31.12.2008, p. 16. (2)Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 of 9 March 2012 laying down specifications for food additives listed in Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 83, 22.3.2012, p. 1). (3)Regulation (EC) No 1331/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 establishing a common authorisation procedure for food additives, food enzymes and food flavourings (OJ L 354, 31.12.2008, p. 1). (4)Scientific Opinion of the Panel on Food Additives, Flavourings, Processing Aids and Food Contact Materials (AFC) on Safety of aluminium from dietary intake, (The EFSA Journal (2008) 754, p. 1). (5)Commission Regulation (EU) No 380/2012 of 3 May 2012 amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the conditions of use and the use levels for aluminium-containing food additives (OJ L 119, 4.5.2012, p. 14).,(8) The authorisation of aluminium lakes of riboflavins provides an alternative to aluminium lakes of other yellow colours in foods in which the use of aluminium lakes is authorised. The use levels requested for aluminium lakes of cochineal, carminic acid, carmines are low and the extension of use is either to niche products or to products which are not consumed by children. A higher use level for pasteurised fish roe is needed due to the heat treatment to guarantee a stab……
