other ingredients are organic, then the product is organic if the milk is not produced
organically.

additives and flavourings. There is a specific list of additives that can be used in organic
products.

they are based on a certification system. They check if you meet the requirements for the private
labels. Private labels can be national and international.

Novel food
Regulation 2015/2283
If your food product has not be consumed before 1997 in Europe it is novel. If it novel, you need to
prove that it is safe. You can do this by proving that is was consumed to a significant degree before
May 1997. Otherwise you should go through several safety aspects (procedure).

Other food laws are:
General food law.
Regulation on food additives, lists of which additives are allowed.
Food supplements directives has some additional labelling requirements.



Lecture: food safety
It is an obligation for the producers to make sure they only place SAFE products on the market. It is
defined in the general food law but also translated into specific legal acts, such as the regulation on
the hygiene of foodstuffs (regulation (EC) No 852/2004). HCAPP is an essential requirement in food
production.

Unintentional faults can decrease the quality or even unsafe. Also, there can be intentional
adulterations. It is a food fraud case if you replace a specific ingredient for a cheaper one, it is not
that you want to do harm but risk can still occur due to this ingredient (intention is purely economic).
