In die meantime, use of colours will be regulated in 2 ways: 1. National lists where these exist (see earlier NATEC comment on Germany). 2. Compliance with die general 'freedom from harm" clause of the EC legislation covering food contact materials. Satisfying (2) can only be assessed on a prodnct-by-product basis, but application of die German criteria stated by NATEC ("zero" migration) would seem reasonable. Since there is a list of EC-approved colours for direct food additive use, this list would also seem to provide a reasonable starting point for colours acceptable for food-contact use. Neither Ultramarine Violet No(5 or Ultramarine Blue No. 29 are on this list under these names, but do you know their Colour Index numbers so we can check ifthey are listed under another name? n, .a w 1/ o'* \\ n' aV ., ,o.oT ^ 0.. 71 /* - -' TOO BFG15726 Fonn Hoc ADWQ12 --------------------- ZH ONVUODS IHI SSSH9 80 8Z 'AT Z6, 90/91 21611002 i 16/06 '92 17:29 0875 614555 zzisioaa I IRI SCOTLAND M2B i i I @002 I irtejjV ^iOlBlu39H (PH *3p>PWJ J O spJB^ai pnrjj nOiC joj doo e nnriqo oi 4 ftp* i - saps^d in sjnejnoico inoqo 6861 ui vodai 8 psonpojd seq SfBuajBjq pEjnoo-poo. no aojjiainrco iradxg stodojna jo [panoQ oip. `inranj t JUN 16 '92 11:28 0875 614555 PAGE.002
