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.

An editorial, high-quality photograph of a minimalist arrangement of sustainable packaging prototypes on a clean, white architectural surface. The scene features a sleek, recycled cardboard shipping box, a clear glass bottle, and a container made from high-quality recycled plastic, all designed with precise, efficient shapes that eliminate excess volume and empty space. On the packaging, subtle and modern universal recycling icons and a small, clean QR code are visible, representing standardized labeling. The setting is a bright, professional design studio with soft, natural daylight, emphasizing the textures of the eco-friendly materials—the fine grain of the paper and the clarity of the glass. The color palette is composed of neutral whites, soft greys, and muted forest greens, conveying a sense of environmental responsibility, industrial precision, and a circular economy. The composition is balanced and elegant, with a shallow depth of field focusing on the high-quality craftsmanship of the sustainable containers.
