CODEX GENERAL STANDARD FOR FOOD ADDITIVES CODEX STAN 192-1995 PREAMBLE 1. 1.1 SCOPE FOOD ADDITIVES INCLUDED IN THIS STANDARD

Only the food additives listed herein are recognized as suitable for use in foods in conformance with the provisions of this Standard. 1 Only food additives that have been assigned an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) or determined, on the basis of other criteria, to be safe 2 by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) 3 and an International Numbering System (INS) designation by Codex will be considered for inclusion in this Standard. The use of additives in conformance with this Standard is considered to be technologically justified. 1.2 FOODS IN WHICH ADDITIVES MAY BE USED This Standard sets forth the conditions under which food additives may be used in all foods, whether or not they have previously been standardized by Codex. The use of additives in foods standardized by Codex is subject to the conditions of use established by the Codex commodity standards and this Standard. The General Standard for Food Additives (GSFA) should be the single authoritative reference point for food additives. Codex commodity committees have the responsibility and expertise to appraise and justify the technological need for the use of additives in foods subject to a commodity standard. The information given by the commodity committees may also be taken into account by the Codex Committee on Food Additives (CCFA) when considering food additive provisions in similar non-standardized foods. When a food is not covered by a commodity committee, CCFA will appraise the technological need. 1.3 FOODS IN WHICH ADDITIVES MAY NOT BE USED Food categories or individual food items in which the use of food additives is not acceptable, or where use should be restricted, are defined by this Standard. 1.4 MAXIMUM USE LEVELS FOR FOOD ADDITIVES The primary objective of establishing maximum use levels for food additives in various food groups is to ensure that the intake of an additive from all its uses does not exceed its ADI. The food additives covered by this Standard and their maximum use levels are based in part on the food additive provisions of previously established Codex commodity standards, or upon the request of governments after subjecting the requested maximum use levels to an appropriate method for verifying the compatibility of a proposed maximum level with the ADI. Annex A of this Standard may be used as a first step in this regard. The evaluation of actual food consumption data is also encouraged.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section of the General Standard, the lack of reference to a particular additive or to a particular use of an additive in a food in the General Standard as currently drafted, does not imply that the additive is unsafe or unsuitable for use in food. The Commission shall review the necessity for maintaining this footnote on a regular basis, with a view to its deletion once the General Standard is substantially complete. 2 For the purpose of this standard determined, on the basis of other criteria, to be safe means that the use of a food additive does not pose a safety concern under conditions of use described by JECFA as being of no toxicological concern (e.g. use levels defined circumstances). 3 A data base of food additive specifications with their current ADI status, the year of their most recent JECFA evaluation, their assigned INS numbers, etc., are available in English at the JECFA website at FAO http://www.fao.org/ag/agn/jecfa-additives/search.html?lang=en . The database has a query page and background information in English, French, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese. The reports of JECFA are available at the JECFA website at WHO http://www.who.int/ipcs/food/jecfa/en/ Adopted in 1995. Revision 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012.

DEFINITIONS a) Food additive means any substance not normally consumed as a food by itself and not normally used as a typical ingredient of the food, whether or not it has nutritive value, the intentional addition of which to food for a technological (including organoleptic) purpose in the manufacture, processing, preparation, treatment, packing, packaging, transport or holding of such food results, or may be reasonably expected to result (directly or indirectly), in it or its byproducts becoming a component of or otherwise affecting the characteristics of such foods. The term does not include contaminants or substances added to food for maintaining or improving nutritional qualities. 4 Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) is an estimate by JECFA of the amount of a food additive, expressed on a body weight basis that can be ingested daily over a lifetime without appreciable health risk. 5 Acceptable Daily Intake "Not Specified" (NS) 6 is a term applicable to a food substance of very low toxicity for which, on the basis of the available data (chemical, biochemical, toxicological, and other), the total dietary intake of the substance, arising from its use at the levels necessary to achieve the desired effect and from its acceptable background levels in food, does not, in the opinion of JECFA, represent a hazard to health. For the above reason, and for reasons stated in individual JECFA evaluations, establishment of an acceptable daily intake expressed in numerical form is not deemed necessary by JECFA. An additive meeting the above criterion must be used within the bounds of good manufacturing practice as defined in section 3.3 below. d) Maximum Use Level of an additive is the highest concentration of the additive determined to be functionally effective in a food or food category and agreed to be safe by the Codex Alimentarius Commission. It is generally expressed as mg additive/kg of food. The maximum use level will not usually correspond to the optimum, recommended, or typical level of use. Under GMP, the optimum, recommended, or typical use level will differ for each application of an additive and is dependent on the intended technical effect and the specific food in which the additive would be used, taking into account the type of raw material, food processing and post-manufacture storage, transport and handling by distributors, retailers, and consumers.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR THE USE OF FOOD ADDITIVES

The use of food additives in conformance with this Standard requires adherence to all the principles set forth in Sections 3.1 3.4. 3.1 FOOD ADDITIVE SAFETY a) Only those food additives shall be endorsed and included in this Standard that, so far as can be judged on the evidence presently available from JECFA, present no appreciable health risk to consumers at the use levels proposed. The inclusion of a food additive in this Standard shall have taken into account any ADI, or equivalent safety assessment established for the additive by JECFA and its probable daily

b)

Codex Alimentarius Procedural Manual. Principles for the Safety Assessment of Food Additives and Contaminants in Food, World Health Organization, (WHO Environmental Health Criteria, No. 70), p. 111 (1987). For the purposes of this Standard, the phrase without appreciable health risk means that there is a reasonable certainty of no harm to consumers if an additive is used at levels that do not exceed those in this Standard. The provisions of this Standard do not sanction the use of an additive in a manner that would adversely affect consumer health. 6 For purposes of this Standard, the phrase acceptable daily intake (ADI) not limited (NL) has the same meaning as ADI not specified. The phrase acceptable ADI refers to an evaluation by JECFA, which established safety on the basis of an acceptable level of treatment of food, limited numerically or by GMP, rather than on a toxicologically established ADI.

intake 7 from all food sources. Where the food additive is to be used in foods eaten by special groups of consumers (e.g., diabetics, those on special medical diets, sick individuals on formulated liquid diets), account shall be taken of the probable daily intake of the food additive by those consumers. c) The quantity of an additive added to food is at or below the maximum use level and is the lowest level necessary to achieve the intended technical effect. The maximum use level may be based on the application of the procedures of Annex A, the intake assessment of Codex members or upon a request by the CCFA to JECFA for an independent evaluation of national intake assessments.

3.2

JUSTIFICATION FOR THE USE OF ADDITIVES

The use of food additives is justified only when such use has an advantage, does not present an appreciable health risk to consumers, does not mislead the consumer, and serves one or more of the technological functions set out by Codex and the needs set out from (a) through (d) below, and only where these objectives cannot be achieved by other means that are economically and technologically practicable: a) To preserve the nutritional quality of the food; an intentional reduction in the nutritional quality of a food would be justified in the circumstances dealt with in sub-paragraph (b) and also in other circumstances where the food does not constitute a significant item in a normal diet; To provide necessary ingredients or constituents for foods manufactured for groups of consumers having special dietary needs; To enhance the keeping quality or stability of a food or to improve its organoleptic properties, provided that this does not change the nature, substance or quality of the food so as to deceive the consumer; To provide aids in the manufacture, processing, preparation, treatment, packing, transport or storage of food, provided that the additive is not used to disguise the effects of the use of faulty raw materials or of undesirable (including unhygienic) practices or techniques during the course of any of these activities.

b) c)

d)

3.3

GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICE (GMP) 8

All food additives subject to the provisions of this Standard shall be used under conditions of good manufacturing practice, which include the following: a) b) The quantity of the additive added to food shall be limited to the lowest possible level necessary to accomplish its desired effect; The quantity of the additive that becomes a component of food as a result of its use in the manufacturing, processing or packaging of a food and which is not intended to accomplish any physical, or other technical effect in the food itself, is reduced to the extent reasonably possible; and, The additive is of appropriate food grade quality and is prepared and handled in the same way as a food ingredient.

c) 3.4

SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE IDENTITY AND PURITY OF FOOD ADDITIVES

Food additives used in accordance with this Standard should be of appropriate food grade quality and should at all times conform with the applicable Specifications of Identity and Purity recommended by the Codex

Codex members may provide the CCFA with intake information that may be used by the Committee in establishing maximum use levels. Additionally, the JECFA, at the request of the CCFA, will evaluate intakes of additives based on intake assessments submitted by Codex members responding to a call for data. The CCFA will consider the JECFA evaluations when establishing the maximum use levels for additives. 8 For additional information, see the Codex Alimentarius Commission Procedural Manual. Relations Between Commodity Committees and General Committees- Food Additives and Contaminants.

Alimentarius Commission9 or, in the absence of such specifications, with appropriate specifications developed by responsible national or international bodies. In terms of safety, food grade quality is achieved by conformance of additives to their specifications as a whole (not merely with individual criteria) and through their production, storage, transport, and handling in accordance with GMP. 4. 4.1 CARRY-OVER OF FOOD ADDITIVES INTO FOODS CONDITIONS APPLYING TO CARRY-OVER OF FOOD ADDITIVES FROM INGREDIENTS AND RAW

MATERIALS INTO FOODS

Other than by direct addition, an additive may be present in a food as a result of carry-over from a raw material or ingredient used to produce the food, provided that: a) b) c) The additive is acceptable for use in the raw materials or other ingredients (including food additives) according to this Standard; The amount of the additive in the raw materials or other ingredients (including food additives) does not exceed the maximum use level specified in this Standard; The food into which the additive is carried over does not contain the additive in greater quantity than would be introduced by the use of raw materials, or ingredients under proper technological conditions or manufacturing practice, consistent with the provisions of this standard.

4.2 SPECIAL CONDITIONS APPLYING TO THE USE OF FOOD ADDITIVES NOT DIRECTLY AUTHORISED IN
FOOD INGREDIENTS AND RAW MATERIALS

An additive may be used in or added to a raw material or other ingredient if the raw material or ingredient is used exclusively in the preparation of a food that is in conformity with the provisions of this standard, including that any maximum level applying to the food is not exceeded. 4.3 FOODS FOR WHICH THE CARRY-OVER OF FOOD ADDITIVES IS UNACCEPTABLE Carry-over of a food additive from a raw material or ingredient is unacceptable for foods belonging to the following food categories, unless a food additive provision in the specified category is listed in Tables 1 and 2 of this standard. a b 5. 13.1 - Infant formulae, follow-up formulae, and formulae for special medical purposes for infants. 13.2 - Complementary foods for infants and young children.

FOOD CATEGORY SYSTEM 10

The food category system is a tool for assigning food additive uses in this Standard. The food category system applies to all foodstuffs. The food category descriptors are not to be legal product designations nor are they intended for labelling purposes. The food category system is based on the following principles: a The food category system is hierarchical, meaning that when an additive is recognized for use in a general category, it is recognized for use in all its sub-categories, unless otherwise stated.

An index (CAC/MISC 6) of all specifications adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, as well as the year of adoption, is available at the Codex website (http://www.codexalimentarius.org/standards/en/ ). These specifications, prepared by the JECFA, are also being published in 2006 in the Combined Compendium of Food Additive Specifications, FAO JECFA Monographs No. 1, which consists of four volumes and in subsequent JECFA Monographs. The specifications are also available at the JECFA website (http://www.fao.org/ag/agn/jecfaadditives/search.html?lang=en Although specifications for flavourings are not included in the printed compendium, with the exception of those few which have an additional non-flavour technological function, they are included in an online searchable database at the JECFA website at FAO. http://www.fao.org/food/food-safety-quality/scientificadvice/jecfa/jecfa-flav/en/ 10 Annex B to this Standard.

CODEX STAN 192-1995

Page 5 of 287

Similarly, when an additive is recognized for use in a sub-category, its use is recognized in any further sub-categories or individual foodstuffs mentioned in a sub-category. b c The food category system is based on product descriptors of foodstuffs as marketed, unless otherwise stated. The food category system takes into consideration the carry-over principle. By doing so, the food category system does not need to specifically mention compound foodstuffs (e.g., prepared meals, such as pizza, because they may contain, pro rata, all the additives endorsed for use in their components), unless the compound foodstuff needs an additive that is not endorsed for use in any of its components. The food category system is used to simplify the reporting of food additive uses for assembling and constructing this Standard.

DESCRIPTION OF THE STANDARD

This Standard consists of three main components: a b Preamble Annexes i. ii. Annex A is a guideline for considering maximum use levels for additives with numerical JECFA ADIs. Annex B is a listing of the food category system used to develop and organize Tables 1, 2, and 3 of the standard. Descriptors for each food category and sub-category are also provided. Annex C is a cross-reference of the food category system and Codex commodity standards.

iii. c

Food Additive Provisions i. Table 1 specifies, for each food additive or food additive group (in alphabetical order) with a numerical JECFA ADI, the food categories (or foods) in which the additive is recognized for use, the maximum use levels for each food or food category, and its technological function. Table 1 also includes the uses of those additives with nonnumerical ADIs for which a maximum use level is specified. Table 2 contains the same information as Table 1, but the information is arranged by food category number. Table 3 lists additives with Not Specified or Not Limited JECFA ADIs that are acceptable for use in foods in general when used at quantum satis levels and in accordance with the principles of good manufacturing practice described in Section 3.3 of this preamble. The Annex to Table 3 lists food categories and individual food items excluded from the general conditions of Table 3. The provisions in Tables 1 and 2 govern the use of additives in the food categories listed in the Annex to Table 3.

ii. iii.

Unless otherwise specified, maximum use levels for additives in Tables 1 and 2 are set on the final product as consumed. Tables 1, 2, and 3 do not include references to the use of substances as processing aids.11

Processing Aid means any substance or material, not including apparatus or utensils, and not consumed as a food ingredient by itself, intentionally used in the processing of raw materials, foods or its ingredients to fulfill a certain technological purpose during treatment or processing and which may result in the non-intentional but unavoidable presence of residues or derivatives in the final product: Codex Alimentarius Commission Procedural Manual.

ANNEX A GUIDELINES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MAXIMUM LEVELS FOR THE USE OF FOOD ADDITIVES WITH NUMERICAL ACCEPTABLE DAILY INTAKES This annex is intended as a guidance to screen proposals for use of additives based on consideration of their maximum use level and the physiological upper limit to the amount of food and drink that can be consumed each day. The Annex is not intended for allocating provisions for the use of an additive and cannot be used for calculating accurate additive intakes. FOOD ADDITIVES - BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR CALCULATION OF USE LEVELS Guideline 1 The levels and quantities of food additives used in the Budget Method calculations should be expressed on the same basis as the substances on which the ADI was allocated (e.g., an acid or its salts). For foods sold as concentrates or powders intended for reconstitution before consumption, the Budget calculation on the food additive use levels should be performed on the ready-to-eat product. ESTIMATION OF THE SAFETY ASPECTS OF USE LEVELS - FOOD ADDITIVES WITH NO NUMERICAL ADI Guideline 2 FOOD ADDITIVES WITH AN ADI OF NOT SPECIFIED When an additive has been allocated an ADI "not specified" 12 it could in principle, be allowed for use in foods in general with no limitation other than in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). It should, however, be born in mind that ADI not specified does not mean that unlimited intake is acceptable. The term is used by JECFA in case where "on the basis of the available data (chemical, biochemical, toxicological, and other) the total daily intake of the substance arising from its use at the levels necessary to achieve the desired effect and from its acceptable background in food does not, in the opinion of the Committee, represent a hazard to health"1 If, therefore, a substance is used in larger amounts and/or in a wider range of foods than originally envisaged by JECFA it may be necessary to consult JECFA to ensure that the new uses fall within the evaluation. For example a substance may have been evaluated as a humectant without including a later use as a bulk sweetener, which could give considerable higher intake. Guideline 3 FOOD ADDITIVES EVALUATED AS ACCEPTABLE FOR CERTAIN PURPOSES In some cases, JECFA has been unable to allocate an ADI but nevertheless found a specific use of a substance acceptable. In such cases, the additive in question should only be authorized in accordance with the conditions specified. In case of any other reported uses CCFA should request JECFA to re-evaluate the additive in question in light of the new information on uses. ESTIMATION OF THE SAFETY ASPECTS OF USE LEVELS - FOOD ADDITIVES WITH NUMERICAL ADI Guideline 4 FRACTIONS OF THE ADI TO BE USED FOR SOLID FOOD AND BEVERAGES, RESPECTIVELY If an additive is proposed for use in both solid food and in beverages the full ADI cannot be used for both for uses in solid food and uses in beverages. It is therefore necessary to allocate a fraction of the ADI to each of the applications. As a first approach, it may be appropriate to assume that one-half of the ADI is allocated to

each solid and liquid foods. However, in special cases other fractions may be more appropriate as long as the sum of the fractions does not exceed the figure for the ADI (e.g. FS=1/4 and FB=3/4 ; FS=1/6 and FB=5/6), where FS is the fraction for use in solid food and FB is the fraction for use in beverages). If the additive is used only in solid food, then FS =1 and FB=0 and if the additive is used only in beverages, then FS=0 and FB=1. III(a) FOOD ADDITIVE USES IN SOLID FOOD (FS) Guideline 5 USE LEVELS BELOW FS X ADI X 40 If the proposed use levels are below FS x ADI x 40, these food additive provisions could be suitable in food in general. Guideline 6 USE LEVELS BELOW FS X ADI X 80 If the proposed use levels are below FS x ADI x 80 they are acceptable provided the daily consumption of the foods containing the additive will usually not exceed half of the assumed maximum total solid food intake (i.e., 12.5 g/kg bw/day). Guideline 7 USE LEVELS BELOW FS X ADI X 160 If the proposed use levels are below FS x ADI x 160 they are acceptable provided the daily consumption of the foods containing the additive will usually not exceed one fourth of the assumed maximum total solid food intake (i.e., 6.25 g/kg bw/day). Guideline 8 USE LEVELS BELOW FS X ADI X 320 If the proposed use levels are below FS x ADI x 320 they could be accepted provided the daily consumption of the foods containing the additive will usually not exceed one eighth of the assumed maximum total food intake (i.e., 3.13 g/kg bw/day). Guideline 9 USE LEVELS ABOVE FS X ADI X 320 If the proposed levels are higher than FS x ADI x 320 they should only be accepted for products where calculation of potential intake from all proposed uses will show that exceeding the ADI is unlikely, or if estimation of the intake of the additive based on more exact intake estimates methods show that the use levels are acceptable (e.g., food consumption surveys) III(b) FOOD ADDITIVE USES IN BEVERAGES (FL) Guideline 10 USE LEVELS BELOW FL X ADI X 10 If the proposed levels are below FL x ADI x 10 , the additive could be accepted for use in all beverages in general. Guideline 11 USE LEVELS BELOW FL X ADI X 20 If the proposed use levels are below FL x ADI x 20 they could be accepted provided the daily consumption of beverages containing the additive will usually not exceed half of the assumed maximum total intake of beverage (i.e., 50 ml/kg bw/day).

CODEX STAN 192-1995

Page 8 of 287

Guideline 12 USE LEVELS BELOW FS X ADI X 40 If the proposed use levels are below FL x ADI x 40 they could be accepted provided the daily consumption of beverages containing the additive will usually not exceed a fourth of the assumed maximum total intake of beverage (i.e., 25 ml/kg bw/day). Guideline 13 USE LEVELS BELOW FL X ADI X 80 If the proposed use levels are below FL x ADI x 80 they could be accepted provided the daily consumption of beverages containing the additive will usually not exceed an eighth of the assumed maximum total intake of beverage (i.e., 12.5 ml/kg bw/day). Guideline 14 USE LEVELS ABOVE FL X ADI X 80 Levels above FL x ADI x 80 should only be accepted for products where calculation of potential intake will show that exceeding the ADI is unlikely (e.g., strong alcoholic beverages).

PART II: Food Category Descriptors 01.0 Dairy products and analogues, excluding products of food category 02.0: Includes all types of dairy products that are derived from the milk of any milking animal (e.g., cow, sheep, goat, buffalo). In this category, a plain product is one that is not flavoured, nor contains fruit, vegetables or other non-dairy ingredients, nor is mixed with other non-dairy ingredients, unless permitted by relevant standards. Analogues are products in which milk fat has been partially or wholly replaced by vegetable fats or oils. 01.1 Milk and dairy-based drinks: Includes all plain and flavoured fluid milk products based on skim, part-skim, low-fat and whole milk. 01.1.1 Milk and buttermilk (plain): Includes plain fluid products only. Includes reconstituted plain milk that contains only dairy ingredients. 01.1.1.1 Milk (plain): Fluid milk obtained from milking animals (e.g., cows, sheep, goats, buffalo). Milk is usually heat-treated by pasteurization, ultra-high temperature (UHT) treatment or sterilization. 13 Includes skim, part-skim, low-fat and whole milk. 01.1.1.2 Buttermilk (plain): Buttermilk is the nearly milkfat-free fluid remaining from the butter-making process (i.e., the churning fermented or non-fermented milk and cream). Buttermilk is also produced by fermentation of fluid skim milk, either by spontaneous souring by the action of lactic acid-forming or aroma-forming bacteria, or by inoculation of heated milk with pure bacterial cultures (cultured buttermilk). 14 Buttermilk may be pasteurized or sterilized. 01.1.2 Dairy-based drinks, flavoured and/or fermented (e.g., chocolate milk, cooca, eggnog, drinking yoghurt, whey-based drinks): Includes all ready-to-drink flavoured and aromatized milk-based fluid beverages and their mixes, excluding mixes for cocoa (cocoa-sugar mixtures, category 05.1.1). Examples include: hot chocolate, chocolate malt drinks, strawberry-flavoured yoghurt drink, lactic acid bacteria drinks, and lassi (liquid obtained by whipping curd from the lactic acid fermentation of milk, and mixing with sugar or synthetic sweetener) . 01.2 Fermented and renneted milk products (plain), excluding food category 01.1.2 dairy-based drinks): Includes all plain products based on skim, part-skim, low-fat and whole milk. Flavoured products are included in 01.1.2 (beverages) and 01.7 (desserts). 01.2.1 Fermented milks (plain): Includes all plain products, including fluid fermented milk, acidified milk and cultured milk. Plain yoghurt, which does not contain flavours or colours, may be found in one of the sub-categories of 01.2.1 depending on whether it is heat-treated after fermentation or not. 01.2.1.1 Fermented milks (plain), not heat-treated after fermentation: Includes fluid and non-fluid plain products, such as yoghurt. 15 01.2.1.2 Fermented milks (plain), heat-treated after fermentation: Products similar to that in 01.2.1.1, except that they have been heat-treated (e.g., sterilized or pasteurized) after fermentation.

01.2.2 Renneted milk (plain): Plain, coagulated milk produced by the action of milk coagulating enzymes. Includes curdled milk. Flavoured renneted milk products are found in category 01.7. 01.3 Condensed milk and analogues (plain): Includes plain and sweetened types of condensed milk, evaporated milk, and their analogues (including beverage whiteners). Includes products based on skim, part-skim, low-fat and whole milk, blends of evaporated skimmed milk and vegetable fat, and blends of sweetened condensed skimmed milk and vegetable fat. 01.3.1 Condensed milk (plain): Condensed milk is obtained by partial removal of water from milk to which sugar may have been added. For evaporated milk, the water removal may be accomplished by heating. 16 Includes partially dehydrated milk, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and khoa (cow or buffalo milk concentrated by boiling) . 01.3.2 Beverage whiteners: Milk or cream substitute consisting of a vegetable fat-water emulsion in water with milk protein and lactose or vegetable proteins for use in beverages such as coffee and tea. Also includes the same type of products in powdered form. Includes condensed milk analogues, blends of evaporated skimmed milk and vegetable fat and blends of sweetened condensed skimmed milk and vegetable fat. 01.4 Cream (plain) and the like: Cream is a fluid dairy product, relatively high in fat content in comparison to milk. Includes all plain fluid, semi-fluid and semi-solid cream and cream analogue products. Flavoured cream products are found in 01.1.2 (beverages) and 01.7 (desserts). 01.4.1 Pasteurized cream (plain): Cream subjected to pasteurization by appropriate heat treatment or made from pasteurized milk. 17 Includes milk cream and half-and-half. 01.4.2 Sterilized and UHT creams, whipping and whipped creams, and reduced fat creams (plain): Includes every cream, regardless of fat content, which has undergone a higher heat-treatment than pasteurization. Also includes pasteurized creams with a reduced fat content, as well as every cream intended for whipping or being whipped. Sterilized cream is subjected to appropriate heat-treatment in the container in which it is presented to the consumer. Ultra-heat treated (UHT) or ultrapasteurized cream is subjected to the appropriate heat treatment (UHT or ultrapasteurization) in a continuous flow process and aseptically packaged. Cream may also be packaged under pressure (whipped cream).17 Includes whipping cream, heavy cream, whipped pasteurized cream, and whipped cream-type dairy toppings and fillings.

01.5.1 Milk powder and cream powder (plain): Milk products obtained by partial removal of water from milk or cream and produced in a powdered form. 19 Includes casein and caseinates.20 01.5.2 Milk and cream powder analogues: Products based on a fat-water emulsion and dried for use other than as a beverage whitener (01.3.2). Examples include imitation dry cream mix and blends of skimmed milk and vegetable fat in powdered form. 01.6 Cheese and analogues: Cheese and cheese analogues are products that have water and fat included within a coagulated milk-protein structure. Products such as cheese sauce (12.6.2), cheese-flavoured snacks (15.1), and composite prepared foods containing cheese as an ingredient (e.g., macaroni and cheese; 16.0) are categorized elsewhere. 01.6.1 Unripened cheese: Unripened cheese, including fresh cheese, is ready for consumption soon after manufacture.21 Examples include cottage cheese (a soft, unripened, coagulated curd cheese), creamed cottage cheese (cottage cheese covered with a creaming mixture),22 cream cheese (rahmfrischkase, an uncured, soft spreadable cheese) 23 mozzarella and scamorza cheeses and paneer (milk protein coagulated by the addition of citric acid from lemon or lime juice or of lactic acid from whey, that is strained into a solid mass, and is used in vegetarian versions of, e.g., hamburgers). Includes the whole unripened cheese and unripened cheese rind (for those unripened cheeses with a skin such as mozzarella). Most products are plain, however, some, such as cottage cheese and cream cheese, may be flavoured or contain ingredients such as fruit, vegetables or meat. Excludes ripened cream cheese, where cream is a qualifier for a high fat content. 01.6 2 Ripened cheese: Ripened cheese is not ready for consumption soon after manufacture, but is held under such time and temperature conditions so as to allow the necessary biochemical and physical changes that characterize the specific cheese. For mould-ripened cheese, the ripening is accomplished primarily by the development of characteristic mould growth throughout the interior and/or on the surface of the cheese.21 Ripened cheese may be soft (e.g., camembert), firm (e.g., edam, gouda), hard (e.g., cheddar), or extra-hard. Includes cheese in brine, which is a ripened semi-hard to soft cheese, white to yellowish in colour with a compact texture, and without actual rind that has been preserved in brine until presented to the consumer. 24 01.6.2.1 Ripened cheese, includes rind: Refers to ripened (including mould-ripened) cheese, including rind, or any part thereof, such as cut, shredded, grated or sliced cheese. Examples of ripened cheese include: blue cheese, brie, gouda, havarti, hard grating cheese, and Swiss cheese. 01.6.2.2 Rind of ripened cheese: Refers to the rind only of the cheese. The rind of the cheese is the exterior portion of the cheese mass that initially has the same composition as the interior portion of the cheese, but which may dry after brining and ripening. 25

Codex Standard for Edible Casein Products (CODEX STAN 290-1995). 21 Codex Standard for Cheese (CODEX STAN 283-1978). 22 Codex Standard for Cottage Cheese (CODEX STAN 273-1968). 23 Codex Standard for Cream Cheese (CODEX STAN 275-1973). 24 Codex Group Standard for Cheeses in Brine (CODEX STAN 208-1999). 25 The rind is different from the coating of a cheese. The coating is either: (1) a film of synthetic or natural material, which helps to regulate the humidity during ripening and protects the cheese against microorganisms; or (2) a layer, primarily of wax, paraffin or plastic, which normally is impermeable to moisture, that protects the cheese after ripening against microorganisms and against physical damage during retail handling and that in some cases, contributes to the specific appearance of the cheese (e.g., coloured surface).

01.6.2.3 Cheese powder (for reconstitution; e.g., for cheese sauces): Dehydrated product prepared from a variety or processed cheese. Does not include grated or shredded cheese (01.6.2.1 for variety cheese; 01.6.4 for processed cheese). Product is intended either to be reconstituted with milk or water to prepare a sauce, or used as-is as an ingredient (e.g., with cooked macaroni, milk and butter to prepare a macaroni and cheese casserole). Includes spray-dried cheese. 01.6.3 Whey cheese: A solid or semi-solid product obtained by concentration of whey with or without the addition of milk, cream or other materials of milk origin, and moulding of the concentrated product. 26 Includes the whole cheese and the rind of the cheese. Different from whey protein cheese (01.6.6). 01.6.4 Processed cheese: Product with a very long shelf life obtained by melting and emulsifying cheese. Includes products manufactured by heating and emulsifying mixtures of cheese, milkfat, milk protein, milk powder, and water in different amounts. Products may contain other added ingredients, such as aromas, seasonings and fruit, vegetables and/or meat. Product may be spreadable or cut into slices and pieces. 27 The term processed does not mean cutting, grating, shredding, etc. of cheese. Cheese treated by these mechanical processes are included under food category 01.6.2 (Ripened cheese). 01.6.4.1 Plain processed cheese: Processed cheese product that does not contain added flavours, seasonings, fruit, vegetables and/or meat. Examples include: American cheese, requeson. 01.6.4.2 Flavoured processed cheese, including containing fruit, vegetables, meat, etc.: Processed cheese product that contains added flavours, seasonings, fruit, vegetables and/or meat. Examples include: neufchatel cheese spread with vegetables, pepper jack cheese, cheddar cheese spread with wine, and cheese balls (formed processed cheese coated in nuts, herbs or spices). 01.6.5 Cheese analogues: Products that look like cheese, but in which milkfat has been partly or completely replaced by other fats. Includes imitation cheese, imitation cheese mixes, and imitation cheese powders. 01.6.6 Whey protein cheese: Product containing the protein extracted from the whey component of milk. These products are principally made by coagulation of whey proteins.26 Example: ricotta cheese. Different from whey cheese (01.6.3). 01.7 Dairy-based desserts (e.g., pudding, fruit or flavoured yoghurt): Includes ready-to-eat flavoured dairy dessert products and dessert mixes. Includes frozen dairy confections and novelties, and dairy-based fillings. Includes flavoured yoghurt (a milk product obtained by fermentation of milk and milk products to which flavours and ingredients (e.g., fruit, cocoa, coffee) have been added) that may or may not be heat-treated after fermentation.28 Other examples include: ice cream (frozen dessert that may contain whole milk, skim milk products, cream or butter, sugar, vegetable oil, egg products, and fruit, cocoa, or coffee), ice milk (product similar to ice cream with reduced whole or skim milk content, or made with nonfat milk), jellied milk, frozen flavoured yoghurt, junket (sweet custard-like dessert made from flavoured milk set with rennet), dulce de leche (cooked milk with sugar and added ingredients such as coconut or chocolate),butterscotch pudding and chocolate mousse. Includes traditional milk-based sweets prepared from milk concentrated partially, from khoa (cow or buffalo milk concentrated by boiling), or chhena (cow or buffalo milk, heat coagulated aided by acids like citric acid, lactic acid, malic acid, etc), sugar or synthetic sweetener, and other ingredients (e.g., maida (refined wheat flour), flavours and colours (e.g., peda, burfee, milk cake, gulab jamun, rasgulla, rasmalai, basundi). These products are different from those in food category 03.0 (edible ices, including sherbet and sorbet) in that the foods in category 01.7 are dairy-based, while those in 03.0 are water-based and contain no dairy ingredients.

01.8 Whey and whey products, excluding whey cheeses: Includes a variety of whey-based products in liquid and powdered forms. 01.8.1 Liquid whey and whey products, excluding whey cheeses: Whey is the fluid separated from the curd after coagulation of milk, cream, skimmed milk or buttermilk with milk coagulating enzymes during the manufacture of cheese, casein or similar products. Acid whey is obtained after the coagulation of milk, cream, skimmed milk or buttermilk, mainly with acids of the type used for the manufacture of fresh cheese. 29 01.8.2 Dried whey and whey products, excluding whey cheeses: Whey powders are prepared by spray- or roller-drying whey or acid whey from which the major portion of the milkfat has been removed.29 02.0 Fats and oils, and fat emulsions: Includes all fat-based products that are derived from vegetable, animal or marine sources, or their mixtures. 02.1 Fats and oils essentially free from water: Edible fats and oils are foods composed mainly of triglycerides of fatty acids from vegetable, animal or marine sources. 30 02.1.1 Butter oil, anhydrous milkfat, ghee: The milkfat products anhydrous milkfat, anhydrous butter oil and butter oil are products derived exclusively from milk and/or products obtained from milk by a process that almost completely removes water and nonfat solids. Ghee is a product obtained exclusively from milk, cream or butter by a process that almost completely removes water and nonfat solids; it has a specially developed flavour and physical structure.31 02.1.2 Vegetable oils and fats: Edible fats and oils obtained from edible plant sources. Products may be from a single plant source or marketed and used as blended oils that are generally designated as edible, cooking, frying, table or salad oils. 32 Virgin oils are obtained by mechanical means (e.g., pressing or expelling), with application of heat only so as not to alter the natural composition of the oil. Virgin oils are suitable for consumption in the natural state. Cold pressed oils are obtained by mechanical means without application of heat. 30,33 Examples include: virgin olive oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, and vanaspati. 02.1.3 Lard, tallow, fish oil, and other animal fats: All animal fats and oils should be derived from animals in good health at the time of slaughter and intended for human consumption. Lard is fat rendered from the fatty tissue of swine. Edible beef fat is obtained from fresh bovine fatty tissue covering the abdominal cavity and surrounding the kidney and heart, and from other compact, undamaged fat tissues. Such fresh fat obtained at the time of slaughter is the killing fat. Prime beef fat (premiere jus or oleo stock) is obtained by low-heat rendering (50-55oC) of killing fat and selected fat trimmings (cutting fat). Secunda beef fat is a product with typical beef fat odour and taste obtained by rendering (60-65oC) and purifying beef fat. Rendered pork fat is fat obtained from the tissue and bones of swine. Edible tallow (dripping) is produced by the rendering of fatty tissue (excluding trimmings and cutting fat), attached muscles and bones of bovine animals or sheep. Fish oils are derived from suitable sources such as herring, sardines, sprat, and anchovies. 34,35 Other examples include: tallow and partially defatted beef or pork fatty tissue.

Most cocoa products have their origin in the cocoa nib, which is obtained from cocoa beans that have been cleaned and freed from the shells. Cocoa mass is obtained from the mechanical disintegration of the nib. Depending on the desired finished chocolate product, the cocoa nib or mass may be treated by an alkalinization process that mellows the flavour. Cocoa dust is the fraction of the cocoa bean produced as a product during winnowing and degerming. Cocoa powder is produced by reducing the fat content of cocoa mass or liquor by pressing (including expeller pressing) and molding into a cocoa press cake. The cocoa press cake is disintegrated and ground to cocoa powder. Cocoa liquor is a homogeneous flowing paste produced from the cocoa nib, which has been roasted, dried, disintegrated and milled. Cocoa-sugar mixtures contain only cocoa powder and sugar. Chocolate powder for beverages is made from cocoa liquor or cocoa powder and sugar to which flavouring (e.g., vanillin) may be added. 46,47

They are packaged in jars or cans and have a limited shelf life. Products in jelly may be manufactured by tenderizing fish products by cooking or steaming, adding vinegar or wine, salt and preservatives, and solidifying in a jelly. Examples include: rollmops (a type of marinated herring), sea eel (dogfish) in jelly and fish aspic.62 09.3.2 Fish and fish products, including molluscs, crustaceans, and echinoderms, pickled and/or in brine: Pickled products are sometimes considered a type of marinated product. Pickling results from the treatment of the fish with a salt and vinegar or alcohol (e.g., wine) solution.62 Examples include: different types of Oriental pickled products: koji-pickled fish (koji-zuke), lees-pickled fish (kasu-zuke), miso-pickled fish (miso-zuke), soy sauce-pickled fish (shoyu-zuke), and vinegar-pickled fish (su-zuke); pickled whale meat; and pickled herring and sprat. 09.3.3 Salmon substitutes, caviar, and other fish roe products: Roe is usually produced by washing, salting and allowing to ripen until transparent. The roe is then packaged in glass or other suitable containers. The term caviar refers only to the roe of the sturgeon species (e.g., beluga). Caviar substitutes are made of roe of various sea and freshwater fish (e.g., cod and herring) that are salted, spiced, dyed and may be treated with a preservative.62 Examples include: salted salmon roe (sujiko), processed, salted salmon roe (ikura), cod roe, salted cod roe (tarako) and lumpfish caviar. Occasionally, roe may be pasteurized. In this case, it is included in food category 09.4, since it is a fully preserved product. Roe products that are frozen, cooked or smoked are included in category 09.2.1, 09.2.4.1, and 09.2.5, respectively; fresh fish roe is found in category 09.1.1.

Fruit-vegetable juice blends have separate classifications for each component (i.e., fruit juice (14.1.2.1) and vegetable juice (14.1.2.3)). 14.1.2.1 Fruit juice: Fruit juice is the unfermented but fermentable liquid obtained from the edible part of sound, appropriately mature and fresh fruit or of fruit maintained in sound condition by suitable means. The juice is prepared by suitable processes, which maintain the essential physical, chemical, organoleptical and nutritional characteristics of the juices of the fruit from which it comes. The juice may be cloudy or clear, and may have restored (to the normal level attained in the same kind of fruit) aromatic substances and volatile flavour components, all of which must be obtained by suitable physical means, and all of which must have been recovered from the same kind of fruit. Pulp and cells obtained by suitable physical means from the same kind of fruit may be added. A single juice is obtained from one kind of fruit. A mixed juice is obtained by blending two or more juices or juices and purees, from different kinds of fruit. Fruit juice may be obtained, e.g., by directly expressing the juice by mechanical extraction processes, by reconstituting concentrated fruit juice (food category 14.1.2.3) with water, or in limited situations by water extraction of the whole fruit (e.g., prune juice from dried prunes). 83 Examples include: orange juice, apple juice, black currant juice, lemon juice, orange-mango juice and coconut water. 14.1.2.2 Vegetable juice: Vegetable juice is the liquid unfermented but fermentable product intended for direct consumption obtained by mechanical expression, crushing, grinding, and/or sieving of one or more sound fresh vegetables or vegetables preserved exclusively by physical means. The juice may be clear, turbid, or pulpy. It may have been concentrated and reconstituted with water. Products may be based on a single vegetable (e.g., carrot) or blends of vegetables (e.g., carrots, celery). 14.1.2.3 Concentrates for fruit juice: Concentrated fruit juice is the product that complies with the definition given in food category 14.1.2.1. It is prepared by the physical removal of water from fruit juice in an amount to increase the Brix level to a value at least 50% greater than that established for reconstituted juice from the same fruit. In the production of juice that is to be concentrated, suitable processes are used, and may be combined, with simultaneous diffusion of the pulp cells or fruit pulp by water, provided that the water-extracted soluble fruit solids are added in-line to the primary juice, before the concentration procedure. Fruit juice concentrates may have restored (to the normal level attained in the same kind of fruit) aromatic substances and volatile flavour

snacks (e.g., trail mixes) are classified here. Chocolate-covered nuts are classified in 05.1.4, and nuts covered in imitation chocolate are included in 05.1.5. 15.3 Snacks - fish based: This describes savoury crackers with fish, fish products or fish flavouring. Dried fish per se that may be consumed as a snack is assigned to food category 09.2.5, and dried meat snacks (e.g., beef jerky, pemmican) are assigned to food category 08.3.1.2. 16.0 Prepared foods: These foods are not included in the other food categories (01-15) and should be considered on a case-by-case basis. Prepared foods are mixtures of multiple components (e.g., meat, sauce, grain, cheese, vegetables); the components are included in other food categories. Prepared foods require minimal preparation by the consumer (e.g., heating, thawing, rehydrating). Provisions for additives will be listed in this food category in the GSFA only if the additive is needed: (i) solely to have a technological function in the prepared food as sold to the consumer; or (ii) at a use level that has an intentional technological function in the prepared food that exceeds the use level that can be accounted for by carry-over from the individual components.
