EU Finalizes the Updated Glossary of Common Ingredient Names

After a public consultation of 60 days, on April 29, 2022, the EU released the updated "Glossary of Common Ingredient Names". The updated glossary will officially take effect on April 29, 2023, while the stakeholders can use the ingredient names set out in it from its release date. Compared to the glossary currently in force, the updated glossary corrected the existing ingredient names that were erroneously reported or omitted, and newly included 3,579 ingredient names, bringing the total from 26,491 to 30,070. ¹
