Regulation 3(7) and (8)
Notes
1. Formulae and weaning foods for infants and young children may contain E 414 acacia gum (gum arabic) and E 551 silicon dioxide resulting from the addition of nutrient preparations containing not more than 10 g/kg
of each of these substances, as well as E 421 mannitol when used as a carrier for vitamin B 12 (not less than 1 part vitamin B 12 to 1000 parts mannitol).
2. The maximum levels of use indicated refer to foods ready for consumption prepared following manufacturers' instructions.
Notes
(a)For the manufacture of acidified milks, non-pathogenic L(+)-lactic acid producing cultures may be used.
(b)If more than one of the substances E 322 and E 471 is added to a food, the maximum level established for that food for each of those substances is lowered with that relative part as is present of the other substance in that food.
