This Directive shall apply to the categories of food additives listed out in Annex I and which are used or intended to be used as ingredients during the manufacture or preparation of a foodstuff and are still present in the final product, even if in altered form. The Directive shall not apply to: (a) processing aids; (b) substances used in the protection of plants and plant products; (c) flavourings for use in foodstuffs, falling within the scope of Directive 88/388/EEC; (d) substances added to foodstuffs as nutrients (for instance minerals, trace elements or vitamins). In accordance with article 2, only the additives included in the list laid down in Annex I may be used in the manufacture or preparation of foodstuffs and only under the conditions of use specified in Annex II. Article 5 specifies the conditions under which Member States may, by way of derogation of the aforementioned provisions, provisionally authorize the marketing and use within its territory of an additive. Food additives which are not intended for sale to the ultimate consumer may be marketed only in case their packaging or containers bear the information referred to in article 7. On the other hand, food additives intended for sale to the ultimate consumer shall be marketed only if their packaging or containers bear the information referred to in article 8. The information shall be, in both cases, conspicuous, clearly legible and indelible.
