 __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. __Relevance to algae:__ Once an additive is authorised, this regulation sets out its detailed technical specification — purity criteria, identification tests, and permitted production methods.
