Editorial notes:

  1. Clause 4 can be complied with by listing those substances in the Table in the ingredient list.

Where this involves a substance listed in the Table to clause 4 there must be an indication on the label that the substance is in the food. Manufacturers may indicate in the ingredient list that the product contains one substance or another (eg. brazil nuts or cashew nuts) in cases where substitutions occur regularly.

  4. Expressions such as ‘egg and egg product’ or ‘crustacea and their products’ include all products derived from the substance listed in the Table to clause 4.
