*In the European Union, (in relation to the burnt sugar portion) when used primarily for flavouring this product should be referred to as “Burnt Sugar” ; a product used primarily for
colouring should be labelled as “Colour: Plain Caramel, Anthocyanins” or “Colour: E 150a, Anthocyanins”. According to the definition of 'food additive' in Article 3 (2) (a) and the term
"colours" in Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, foods normally consumed as such or normally used as characteristic ingredients of food should not be considered as food additives. Foods normally consumed as such in the EU e.g. Anthocyanin extract has colouring properties. Such foods would be regarded as ingredients and would have to be labelled
as such, even when added principally for colouring purposes.
