European Union
May 13, 2024
The Commission published the Decision (EU) 2024/1225 of 30 April 2024 concerning national provisions notified by Denmark on the addition of nitrite to certain meat products.
The Commission is of the opinion that the request by Denmark, received by the Commission on 3 November 2023, for maintaining its national provisions on the addition of nitrites to meat products may be approved in so far as they are more stringent than those of Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008.
Therefore, the Danish national provision concerning the use of nitrites in entirely preserved and semi-preserved heat-treated meat products should be approved only until 9 October 2025, when the more stringent provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 will start applying. The rest of the Danish national provisions should be approved only until the harmonised provisions applicable at Union level set out maximum added amounts of nitrites that are equal to or lower than those set out by the Danish national provisions.
