إجراء مقترح من أوكرانيا: الأغذية

The draft Order has been developed with the aim of establishing requirements for extraction solvents permitted for use in the production of foodstuffs and food ingredients. The Requirements establish a list of extraction solvents permitted for use in the production of foodstuffs and food ingredients, the conditions of their use, maximum residue limits for extraction solvents in foodstuffs and food ingredients as well as general and specific purity criteria for such solvents. These Requirements also apply to imported foodstuffs and food ingredients that have been produced using extraction solvents. The draft Order also establishes that foodstuffs and food ingredients that complied with the requirements of the legislation on the safety and certain quality parameters of foodstuffs in force before the entry into force of this Order, but do not comply with the Requirements for Extraction Solvents Used in the Production of Foodstuffs and Food Ingredients approved by this Order, may be imported into the customs territory of Ukraine, produced and/or placed on the market for three years following the entry into force of this Order. Such foodstuffs may remain on the market until the expiry of their minimum durability date or 'use by' date.
