Abstract

There are added often, by own purpose, to the food nutritious substances to recover what has been lost during the transformation process, produce food equivalent to another important foodstuff under the point of view of its nutritional value, or food enrichment with specific nutrients or other substances that will have a nutritional or physiological effect. The most often added nutrients to the food with this objective are vitamins and minerals. To an European level, the addition of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, is regulated for a certain number of special food as dietetic products. The Spanish regulations for vitamins and minerals as food additives can differ to those of other UE Countries, and often are a hindrance for the free trade between us. The European Regulation proposal, presented on November 2003 by the EU Commission, makes common the possibility the food trading with the vitamins and minerals that are listed, if they are not above the maximum amount fixed by the EU Commission. Also will be mandatory to print on the bottles, cans or packs labels the content of these added products.
