8. Article 10(1) of the of the Commodities Act Decree on foodstuff preparation and treatment [BBL] states that vitamins shall not be present in food or beverages unless the type and quantity of vitamin is naturally present in said food or beverage.
The Commodities Act Order on vitamin preparation exemptions grants an exemption from Article 10(1) BBL for vitamins A and D, under certain conditions. What is new is that an exemption is also granted for vitamin B6 under certain conditions. It was decided to adopt a new exemption order.

9. The Commodities Act Order on vitamin preparation exemptions states that vitamin preparations shall contain a maximum of 1 200 µg RE vitamin A in the form of retinoids and a maximum of 75 µg vitamin D per daily usage amount according to the directions for use. Lower maximum amounts shall apply for children. The explanatory notes on an amendment to the Commodities Act Order on vitamin preparation exemptions indicate the method of calculating these maximum amounts (see prior Notification 2015/336/NL).

In addition to the conditional exemptions for vitamins A and D, this new order grants a conditional exemption for vitamin B6 as well. It was decided to adopt a new exemption order.

The European Food Safety Agency (hereinafter: EFSA) has set a safe upper limit of 25 mg a day for vitamin B6. At higher intakes, health problems cannot be ruled out in cases of long-term use. Taking into account intake of vitamin B6 from food, this means that the available range calculated between the acceptable upper limit and intake from food is 21 mg per day for adults. Lower maximum amounts shall apply for children.
