enriching additives in the form of vitamins and/or vitamin and mineral premixes are added can be

manufacturer shall be responsible for the compliance of the number of vitamins and/or mineral
substances with the one ensured in the regulatory and technical documentation.
8.4.3. Enriched food products shall be produced according to regulatory and technical
