(1)The Portuguese language version of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 contains mistranslations of a term in Part D, table ‘Food categories’, under item ‘03.’, in the column ‘Name’, as well as in Part E, table ‘Authorised food additives and conditions of use in food categories of foodstuffs’, category number ‘03’, in the category description (title) and in the entry E 405, in the column ‘Restrictions/Exceptions’, that narrow down the scope of products in which certain food additives can be used.
