 === Specifications for Authorised Additives ===
-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, OJ L 83, 22.3.2012, p. 1. [[https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A02012R0231-20231215|EUR-Lex]]

 __Relevance to algae:__ Once an additive is authorised, this regulation sets out its detailed technical specification — purity criteria, identification tests, and permitted production methods. For algae-derived additives, the specification will typically define the permitted source species and the acceptable production/extraction process; a producer seeking to supply an already-authorised additive (for example, a carrageenan or an algal carotenoid) from a different species or process than that specified must verify whether their material meets the existing specification or whether a specification amendment or new authorisation is needed.

 === EFSA Re-evaluation Programme ===
-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.
