Translation of "Bittering agent" in German

The French competent authority considers that the term ‘tonique’ is not used to describe a non-alcoholic carbonated beverage containing the bittering agent quinine.

However, evidence has been provided that these terms have been used traditionally, in the meaning of Article 1(4) of this Regulation, as generic descriptors to describe a class of beverages, namely, a non-alcoholic carbonated beverage containing the bittering agent quinine in the form of the flavourings FL 14.011, FL 14.152 or FL 14.155 as referred to in the Union list of flavourings laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on flavourings and certain food ingredients with flavouring properties for use in and on foods.

Although information campaigns in some Member States have shown some positive effects, it is necessary to lower the attractiveness to young children and to protect them by making this type of product less visible by using opaque outer packaging, by including an aversive agent (such as a bittering agent) in the soluble packaging to cause an immediate repulsive effect when in contact with the mouth and by rendering access to this type of product more difficult.
