The new regulation published in the Official Gazette dated 18 January 2026 updates the Specifications for Food Additives. Industry stakeholders must align their operational processes with these new technical criteria.

Key Highlights:

• A compliance period until 1 March 2026 has been defined for existing food businesses.
• Products placed on the market before this date may remain on the market until the end of their shelf life.
• Comprehensive technical updates have been made to Annexes 1 and 2.

This requires a reassessment of current practices in terms of formulation, quality control, supply chain and regulatory compliance.

We recommend reviewing the regulation text to see how the changes will affect your business.
