Labelling

Background: the Directive consolidates and repeals Council Directive 79/112/EEC on the labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs and its subsequent amendments (Council Directives 85/7/EEC, 86/197/EEC and 89/395/EEC, Commission Directives 91/72/EEC, 93/102/EC and 95/42/EC and Directive 97/4/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council).

(Amendment 8)
ARTICLE 1(4b) (new)
Article 6(5)(b) (Directive 79/112/EEC)

4b.  The first indent of Article 6(5)(b) shall be replaced by the following:

'- ingredients which belong to one of the categories listed in Annex I and are constituents of another foodstuff need only be designated by the name of that category. However starches or modified starches which may contain 'gluten' must always be described with their designation of origin;'
