Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council 2 applies to the products defined in Annex I to this Directive, subject to the following conditions:
The product names listed in Annex I shall apply only to the products referred to therein and shall, without prejudice to subparagraph (b), be used in trade to designate them.
As an alternative to the product names referred to in subpoint (a), Annex III provides a list of particular designations. Where an operator uses the designations listed in Part I of Annex III, they shall be used in the language and under the conditions laid down therein. With regard to the designations listed in Part II of Annex III, Member States in which the product is placed on the market may stipulate that those designations are to be used in one or more of the official languages of the Union.
If the product comes from a single kind of fruit, the name of the latter shall be substituted for the word ‘fruit’.
For products manufactured from two or more fruits, except where lemon and/or lime juice are used under the conditions laid down in point 2 of Part II of Annex I, the product name shall be composed of a list of the fruits used, in descending order of the volume of the fruit juices or purées included, as indicated in the list of ingredients. However, in the case of products manufactured from three or more fruits, the indication of the fruits used may be replaced by the words ‘several fruits’ or a similar wording, or by the number of fruits used.
The statement ‘fruit juices contain only naturally occurring sugars’ may appear on the label in the same field of vision as the name of the products referred to in point 1 of Part I of Annex I.
The restoration of the products defined in part I of Annex I to their original state, by means of the substances strictly necessary for this operation, shall not entail an obligation to enter on the labels a list of the ingredients used for this purpose.
The addition to fruit juice of extra pulp or cells as defined in Annex II shall be indicated on the labelling.
Without prejudice to Article 22 of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 for mixtures of fruit juice from concentrate or reduced-sugar fruit juice from concentrate with fruit juice or with reduced-sugar fruit juice, as well as for fruit nectar obtained entirely or partly from one or more concentrated products, the labelling shall bear the words ‘from concentrate(s)’ or ‘partially from concentrate(s)’, as appropriate. That information shall be entered close to the product name, standing out well from any background, in clearly visible characters.
For fruit nectars, the labelling shall indicate the minimum content of fruit juice, fruit purée or any mixture of those ingredients, by the declaration ‘fruit content: ... % minimum’. That information shall be located in the same field of vision as the product name.
