(4)and
(5)of Regulation 4 to the extent to which the food additive is permitted in one of the ingredients of the compound foodstuff; (
  1. b)in a foodstuff where a flavouring has been added, to the extent to which the food additive is permitted in the flavouring in compliance with these Regulations and has been carried over to the foodstuff via the flavouring, provided the food additive has no technological function in the final foodstuff; or (
