Testing of additives
According to the EU Regulation no. 1333/2008 and the Act on the implementation of the Regulations of the European Union in the field of food additives, food enzymes and flavorings (Official Gazette of the Republic of Croatia “Narodne novine” no. 39/13), a “food additive” is any substance that is usually by itself not enjoyed as food and that is usually not used as a typical food ingredient, regardless of whether it has food value or not, and the intentional adding of which to food for technological reasons in the production, processing, preparation, treatment, packaging, transportation or storing of such food results in, or could reasonably be expected to have, the effect that it or its byproducts become, directly or indirectly, a component of such foods.
