Applies from: no date changed
Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
The entry for carbon dioxide (EC number 204-696-9) previously carried no restriction text in the restriction column, but the current version adds a set of exposure conditions covering professional users, general public users or by-standers, and a requirement that appropriate measures be taken as described in the summary of product characteristics.
The added conditions specify numeric acceptable exposure concentration limits for carbon dioxide, including a short-term exposure limit and a time-weighted average for professional users, and a separate ceiling for general public users or by-standers.

The revised text adds a set of introductory statements giving 1 June 2021 as the approval date for product-type 19 for vinegar, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, powdered egg, honey, D-fructose, cheese and concentrated apple juice, plus a citation to Council Directive 2001/112/EC of 20 December 2001 on fruit juices.
Under Category 4, the later text adds entries for vinegar, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast), powdered egg, honey, D-Fructose, cheese and concentrated apple juice, each with restriction wording excluding non-food or non-feed forms and, for concentrated apple juice, excluding material outside the definition in Council Directive 2001/112/EC, none of which appear in the earlier list.

Amended by Regulation (EU) No 334/2014 32014R0334 on EUR-Lex (external, EUR-Lex)
Applies from: no date changed
Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
The heading of Category 6 was changed from referring to substances included in Annex I or IA to Directive 98/8/EC to instead describe substances for which a Member State has validated an active substance dossier under Article 7(3) of the Regulation or accepted such a dossier under Article 11(1) of Directive 98/8/EC.
Within that category, the entry for the substance formerly listed by EC number 250-753-6 as (Z,E)-Tetradec-9,12-dienyl acetate was replaced with an entry showing no EC number available, naming the substance (9Z,12E)-tetradeca-9,12-dien-1-yl acetate and adding a CAS number.
The Category 7 heading, which previously appeared on the same line as the preceding entries, now appears on its own separate line.
