COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2023/937
of 10 May 2023
correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 as regards the inclusion of ‘Phosphated distarch phosphate produced from wheat starch’ in the Union list of novel foods
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on novel foods, amending Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1852/2001 (1), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
After consulting the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
Pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283, the Commission was to establish, by 1 January 2018, the Union list of novel foods authorised or notified under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). |
|
(2) |
The Union list of novel foods authorised or notified under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 was established by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 (3). |
|
(3) |
The Commission has identified an error in the Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470. A correction is needed in order to provide clarity and legal certainty to food business operators and to the Member States’ competent authorities, thus providing for the proper implementation and use of the Union list of novel foods. |
|
(4) |
The novel food ‘Phosphated distarch phosphate produced from wheat starch’ (phosphated wheat starch) was authorised under certain conditions of use by the United Kingdom competent authority in May 2014 in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 258/97. The novel food was erroneously not included in the Union list when the initial list was established. It is therefore appropriate that ‘Phosphated distarch phosphate produced from wheat starch’ is added to the Union list of novel foods. |
|
(5) |
Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 should therefore be corrected accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The Annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2470 is corrected in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 10 May 2023.
For the Commission
The President
Ursula VON DER LEYEN
