A User’s Guide to Schedule 1 of Standard 1.3.1
Introduction
These guidelines do not form part of the legally binding Code; they are intended as a guide to assist in the use of Standard 1.3.1, and in particular Schedule 1 of the Standard.
The structure used for Schedule 1 is hierarchical. Therefore, permissions can be carried over from categories into subcategories, unless otherwise stated within Schedule 1 (see example on following page).
Listed below is a guide that intends to assist in the use of categories and subcategories utilised in Schedule 1 of Standard 1.3.1. The correct categorisation will ultimately depend on the individual product formulation, and hence this only indicates where products may be categorised.
For example:
2 EDIBLE OILS AND OIL EMULSIONS
The additives listed under this category are permitted in all subcategories listed below, unless otherwise stated (see 2.2.1.1 butter)
