Indication of the ingredients in foodstuffs

The European Parliament adopted a resolution based on the report by Christa KLASS (EPP-ED, Germany) making some amendments to the Commission's proposal. (Please refer to the document dated 23/04/02.) Parliament deleted the provision that ingredients constituting less than 5% of the finished product may be listed in a different order after the other ingredients. The Commission is required to issue detailed guidelines for the interpretation of the list of allergenic ingredients within six months after the adoption of the Directive.�
