In addition, according to,Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament,and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying,down the general principles and requirements of food,law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority,and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (6),flavourings fall within the definition of ‘food’.,(6) While the use of additives which are necessary to ensure,the safety and quality of flavourings and to facilitate,their storage and use should be authorised, the levels of,additives present in such flavourings should be the,minimum required to achieve the intended purpose. In,addition, consumers should be guaranteed correct,adequate and non-misleading information on the use of,additives.,(7) The presence of an additive in a foodstuff, due to the use,of a flavouring, is generally low and the additive does,not have a technological function in the foodstuff.,However, if under certain circumstances the additive,does have a technological function in the compound,foodstuff, it should be considered as an additive of the,compound foodstuff and not as an additive of the,flavouring, and the relevant rules relating to the additive,in the particular foodstuff should apply, including the,labelling rules laid down in Directive 2000/13/EC of the,European Parliament and of the Council of 20 March,2000 on the approximation of the laws of the Member,States relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising,of foodstuffs (7).,(8) In accordance with Directive 88/388/EEC, food manufacturers,should be informed about the concentrations,of all additives in flavourings in order to enable them to,comply with Community legislation. That Directive also,requires quantitative labelling of each component subject,to a quantitative limitation in a foodstuff. A quantitative,limitation is expressed either numerically or by the,‘quantum satis’ principle.,L 24/58 EN Official Journal of the European Union 29.1.2004,(1) OJ C 208, 3.9.2003, p. 30.,(2) Opinion of the European Parliament of 3 July 2003 (not yet,published in the Official Journal), and Decision of the Council of 1,December 2003.,(3) OJ L 40, 11.2.1989, p. 27.
