Ban on unnecessary colours for children
9th May 2008
Sweeteners and colourings in food aimed at children should be banned, while additives ought to be used in other products only if they provide an advantage to the consumer, said the EU Environment Committee.
Should the proposals be accepted and controls on the use of additives made stricter, it could have far-reaching effects across the industry, requiring huge investment in time and money to adapt products to meet new regulations.
