"caramel (sugar, water, glucose-fructose syrup), sugar, water, natural flavour, salt, acidity regulator : sodium hydroxide (E 524)*" or "aromatic caramel (sugar, water, glucose-fructose syrup), sugar, water, natural flavour, salt, acidity regulator : sodium hydroxide (E 524)*" Neutralisation of caramel is often requested due to technical reasons when the caramel is used (for example : sterilised or pasteurised dairy product ; natural acidity of the caramel would lead to coagulating the milk proteins ; in this case, the acidity regulator E 524 (sodium hydroxide) is considered as processing aid as it has no technological function in the product. As a consequence, it has not to be labelled on the final product. * Food additives with conditions of use in some food categories according to Regulation (UE) No 1129/2011
