Fine bakery products for special nutritional uses

Commission Regulation (EU) amending Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the use of sweeteners in fine bakery wares (Text with EEA relevance).

The text takes away the authorisation of use of nine sweeteners (E 950 Acesulfame K, E 951 Aspartame, E952 Cyclamic acid and its Na and Ca salts, E 954 Saccharin and its Na, K and Ca salts, E 955 Sucralose, E 959 Neohesperidine DC, E 961 Neotame, E 962 Salt of aspartame-acesulfame and E 969 Advantame) in "fine bakery products for special nutritional uses" (food category 07.2 fine bakery wares of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 on food additives). In order to allow economic operators to adapt to the new rules, it is appropriate to provide for a transitional period during which fine bakery products for special nutritional uses containing any of those sweeteners may continue to be marketed.
