A food used before 15 May 1997 exclusively as, or in, a food supplement, as defined in Directive 2002/46/EC, should be permitted to be placed on the market within the Union after that date for the same use, as it should not be considered to be a novel food for the purposes of this Regulation.
Maidir le bia a úsáideadh go heisiach mar fhorbhia nó i bhforbhia, faoi mar a shainmhínítear é i dTreoir 2002/46/CE roimh an 15 Bealtaine 1997, ba cheart a cheadú go gcuirfear ar mhargadh an Aontais é tar éis an dáta sin le haghaidh na húsáide céanna ós rud é nár cheart é a mheas mar bhia núíosach chun críocha an Rialacháin seo.
