Amendment

(24) Novel foods are subject to the general labelling requirements laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the provision of food information to consumers and other relevant labelling requirements in Union food law. In certain cases it may be necessary to provide for additional labelling information, in particular regarding the description of the food, its source or its conditions of use to ensure that consumers are sufficiently informed of the nature of the novel food. Therefore, when a novel food is included in the Union list or in the list of traditional foods from third countries, specific conditions of use or labelling obligations may be imposed, which might, inter alia, relate to any specific characteristic or food property, such as composition, nutritional value or nutritional effects and intended use of the food, or to ethical considerations or implications for the health of specific groups of the population. It is appropriate to lay down in this Regulation specific labelling obligations in respect of food ingredients present in the form of engineered nanomaterials which fall within the scope of this Regulation.
