    5.  
    Comhlíonfaidh breiseáin bia na sonraíochtaí dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 14.

    Airteagal 5

    Cosc ar bhreiseáin bia neamh-chomhlíontacha agus/nó ar bhia neamh-chomhlíontach

    Ní chuirfidh aon duine breiseán bia ná aon bhia a bhfuil an breiseán bia sin ann ar an margadh mura gcomhlíonfaidh úsáid an bhreiseáin bia sin an Rialachán seo.

    Airteagal 6

    Coinníollacha ginearálta maidir le breiseáin bia a chur ar liostaí Comhphobail agus maidir lena n-úsáid

    1.  

    Ní fhéadfar breiseán bia a chur ar na liostaí Comhphobail atá in Iarscríbhinn II agus in Iarscríbhinn III ach amháin má chomhlíonann sé na coinníollacha seo a leanas agus, i gcás inarb ábhartha, tosca dlisteanacha eile, lena n-áirítear tosca comhshaoil:

    3.  

    De mhaolú ar mhír 2(a), féadfar breiseán bia a laghdaíonn cáilíocht chothaitheach bia a chur ar an liosta Comhphobail atá in Iarscríbhinn II ar choinníoll:

    (a) 

    nach cuid shuntasach de ghnáth-aiste bia an bia sin; nó

    (b) 

    gur gá an breiseán bia do tháirgeadh bianna le haghaidh grúpaí tomhaltóirí a bhfuil riachtanais speisialta aiste bia acu.

    Airteagal 7

    Coinníollacha sonracha do mhilseoirí

    Airteagal 8

    Coinníollacha sonracha do dhathanna

    Ní fhéadfar breiseán bia a chur ar an liosta Comhphobail atá in Iarscríbhinn II don aicme fheidhmiúil dathanna ach amháin más breiseán é a fhónann d’fheidhm amháin nó do bhreis agus feidhm amháin de na feidhmeanna seo a leanas, chomh maith le fónamh d’fheidhm amháin nó do bhreis agus feidhm amháin de na feidhmeanna a leagtar amach in Airteagal 6(2):

    (a)

    (b) 

    cuma níos tarraingtí a chur ar bhia;

    (c) 

    dath a chur ar bhia nach mbeadh dath ar bith air mura ndéanfaí amhlaidh.

    Féadfar breiseáin bia a shannadh in Iarscríbhinn II agus in Iarscríbhinn III do cheann de na haicmí feidhmiúla atá in Iarscríbhinn I ar bhonn phríomhfheidhm theicneolaíoch an bhreiseáin bia.

    Ní choiscfear breiseán bia a úsáid d’fheidhmeanna éagsúla toisc é a bheith á leithroinnt ar aicme fheidhmiúil.

    2.  
    I gcás inar gá, mar thoradh ar an dul chun cinn eolaíoch nó de bharr na forbartha teicneolaíche, glacfar na bearta a cheaptar chun eilimintí neamhriachtanacha den Rialachán seo a leasú, agus a bhaineann le haicmí feidhmiúla breise a fhéadfar a chur le hIarscríbhinn I, i gcomhréir leis an nós imeachta rialúcháin lena ngabhann grinnscrúdú agus dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 28(3).

    Airteagal 10

    (b) 

    ar an liosta Comhphobail atá in Iarscríbhinn III a ghabhann leis an Rialachán seo.

    2.  

    Sonrófar an méid seo a leanas san iontráil do bhreiseán bia a bheidh ar na liostaí Comhphobail atá in Iarscríbhinn II agus in Iarscríbhinn III:

    (a) 

    ainm an bhreiseáin bia agus an E-uimhir atá aige;

    (b) 

    na bianna a bhféadfar an breiseán bia a chur leo;

    más iomchuí, cé acu an bhfuil aon srianta ar an mbreiseán bia a dhíol go díreach leis an tomhaltóir deiridh nó nach bhfuil.

    3.  
    Leasófar liostaí an Chomhphobail in Iarscríbhinn II agus Iarscríbhinn III i gcomhréir leis an nós imeachta dá dtagraítear i Rialachán (CE) Uimh. 1331/2008 [lena mbunaítear nós imeachta comhchoiteann údaraithe maidir le breiseáin bia, maidir le heinsímí bia agus maidir le blastáin bia].

    Airteagal 11

    Leibhéil úsáide breiseán bia

    1.  

    Agus na coinníollacha úsáide dá dtagraítear in Airteagal 10(2)(c) á mbunú:

    (a) 

    socrófar an leibhéal úsáide ag an leibhéal is ísle is gá chun an éifeacht inmhianaithe a bhaint amach;

    (b) 

    cuirfear an méid seo a leanas san áireamh leis na leibhéil sin:

    (i) 

    aon iontógáil laethúil atá inghlactha, nó measúnú coibhéiseach, a bheidh socraithe don bhreiseán bia agus an iontógáil laethúil dóchúil ó gach foinse;

    (ii) 

    i gcás ina bhfuiltear chun an breiseán bia a úsáid i mbianna a itheann grúpaí speisialta tomhaltóirí, an iontógáil laethúil den bhreiseán bia a d’fhéadfadh tomhaltóirí sna grúpaí sin a iontógáil.

    2.  
    I gcás inarb iomchuí, ní shocrófar uasleibhéal uimhriúil do bhreiseán bia (quantum satis). Sa chás sin, úsáidfear an breiseán bia i gcomhréir le prionsabal an quantum satis.
    3.  
    Beidh feidhm ag na huasleibhéil breiseán bia a leagtar amach in Iarscríbhinn II maidir leis an mbia faoi mar a chuirtear ar an margadh é, mura sonrófar a mhalairt. De mhaolú ar an bprionsabal sin, i gcás bianna triomaithe agus/nó bianna tiubhaithe a chaitear a athbhunú, beidh feidhm ag na huasleibhéil maidir leis an mbia faoi mar a athbhunaítear é de réir na dtreoracha a thugtar ar an lipéad agus an íosfhachtóir caolaithe á chur san áireamh.
    4.  
    Beidh feidhm ag na huasleibhéil do dhathanna a leagtar amach in Iarscríbhinn II maidir leis an bprionsabal dathaithe atá san ullmhóid dathaithe mura sonrófar a mhalairt.

    The term caramel relates to products of a more or less intense brown colour which are intended for colouring. It does not correspond to the sugary aromatic product obtained from heating sugars and which is used for flavouring food (e.g. confectionery, pastry, alcoholic drinks).

    (*1)   

    Canthaxanthin is not authorised in the food categories listed in Part D and E. The substance is in list B1 because it is used in medicinal products in accordance with Directive 2009/35/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 109, 30.4.2009, p. 10).

    ►M98  (*2)   

    Ní údaraítear dé-ocsaíd tíotáiniam sna catagóirí bia a liostaítear i gCuid D agus Cuid E. Tá an tsubstaint ar liosta B1 mar go n-úsáidtear í i dtáirgí íocshláinte i gcomhréir le Treoir 2009/35/CE ó Pharlaimint na hEorpa agus ón gComhairle (IO L 109, 30.4.2009, lch. 10).

    (1) Food Additives presented in Table 1 of Part 6 of this Annex, which are generally permitted for use in food under the general ‘quantum satis’ principle included in Annex II Part C(1) Group I, have been included as food additives (other than for the purpose of carriers) in food additives under the general ‘quantum satis’ principle, unless stated otherwise.

    (2) For phosphates and silicates maximum limits have been set only in the food additive preparation and not in the final food.

    (3) For all other food additives with a numerical ADI value maximum limits have been set for the food additive preparation and the final food.

    General rules for conditions of use of Food additives in Part 3

    (1) Food Additives presented in Table 1 of Part 6 of this Annex, which are generally permitted for use in food under the general ‘quantum satis’ principle, included in Annex II Part C(1) Group I, have been included as food additives in food enzymes under the general ‘quantum satis’ principle, unless stated otherwise.

    (2) For phosphates and silicates, when used as additives, maximum limits have been set only in the food enzyme preparation and not in the final food.

    (3) For all other food additives with a numerical ADI value maximum limits have been set for the food enzyme preparation and the final food.

    (4) No food additives are authorised for their function as colour, sweetener or flavour enhancer.

    General rules for conditions of use of Food additives in Part 5

    (1) Food Additives presented in Table 1 of Part 6 of this Annex, which are generally permitted for use in food under the general ‘quantum satis’ principle, included in Annex II Part C(1) Group I, have been included as food additives in nutrients under the general ‘quantum satis’ principle, unless stated otherwise.

    (2) For phosphates and silicates, when used as additives, maximum limits have been set only in the nutrient preparation and not in the final food.

    (3) For all other food additives with a numerical ADI value maximum limits have been set for the nutrient preparation and the final food.

    (4) No food additives are authorised for their function as colour, sweetener or flavour enhancer.
