Draft Commission Regulation amending Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council and the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 as regards the removal of calcium sorbate (E 203) (Text with EEA relevance)

The proposed measure removes calcium sorbate (E 203) from the Union list of authorised food additives in Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, since due to the absence of appropriate genotoxicity data it is not possible to assess the risk posed by the use of this substance as a food additive to human health. Therefore, the inclusion of this substance in the Union list of authorised food additives can no longer be justified. Annexes II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 (authorised uses and use levels for food additive) and the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 231/2012 (specifications for food additives) are amended accordingly.
