Due to the amendments made to Directive 2001/112/EU by Directive 2012/12/EU released by the European Union on October 28, 2013, this document modifies the relevant sections of the Codex Alimentarius concerning juice and its products as specified by the amendments. For example, the amended directive no longer allows the addition of sugar to juice, concentrated juice, water-extracted juice, and de-sugared juice powder, thus the original label stating "no added sugar" will no longer require special notation. Additionally, tomatoes have been redefined as fruits, therefore tomato juice and similar products also fall within the scope of these specified regulations.
