Special provisions relating to the fat reduction factor
6.—(1) Subject to paragraph 7, the results of tests for specific migration in foods containing more than 20% fat must be corrected by the fat reduction factor (“FRF”), being a factor between 1 and 5 (expressed as MFRF) by which measured migration of lipophilic substances listed in Annex IVa into a fatty food or simulant D and its substitutes are divided before comparison with specific migration limits.
(2) The following equations shall be applied before comparison with the specific migration limit —
(a)MFRF = M/FRF, and
(b)FRF = (g fat in food/kg of food)/200 = (% fat × 5)/100.
