| - | EFSA has been conducting a systematic re-evaluation of all food additives that were authorised in the EU before 20 January 2009, under the mandate set by Commission Regulation (EU) No 257/2010. Several algae-derived colourants and thickeners have been or are being re-evaluated under this programme, which can result in revised acceptable daily intake (ADI) values or revised conditions of use. Producers of algae-derived additives should monitor EFSA's re-evaluation outputs for their specific substances. | + | EFSA has been conducting a systematic re-evaluation of all food additives that were authorised in the EU before 20 January 2009, under the mandate set by Commission Regulation (EU) No 257/ |
