(2) The use of either of these forms of declaration shall preclude the use of the other, save where—

(i) the declaration is by categories and any ingredient belongs to none of the categories described in Part II of Schedule 6, in which case that ingredient, designated by its specific name, shall be listed in order by weight in relation to the categories; or

(ii) in the case of a feeding stuff intended for a particular nutritional purpose, paragraph 18(2) and paragraph 3 of Chapter B of Schedule 10 require the declaration of any ingredient by its specific name, in which case any ingredient to which those provisions do not apply may be declared by reference to the category to which it belongs.

(3) Where the declaration is by specific names, an ingredient described in the third column of Part III of Schedule 6 and complying with any compositional requirements specified in that column in relation to that ingredient shall be declared by the corresponding name specified in the second column of that Part, (the inclusion in the declaration of any word appearing in brackets in the second column being optional) if—

(a) the botanical purity of the ingredient by weight is not less than the percentage specified in the third column of Part III of Schedule 6 in relation to that ingredient or, if none is specified, is not less than 95% by weight; and

(b) (in cases where the name specified in the second column of Part III of Schedule 6 includes a common name or term specified in the third column of Part IV of that Schedule), the ingredient was prepared by the process specified in the first column and described in the second column of Part IV of Schedule 6 in relation to that ingredient.
