Food additives performing the same function
(1) Where a food contains a mixture of food additives that perform the same technological function, the sum of the proportion of these additives in the food must not be more than 1.
(2) The sum of the proportion of food additives in a food is calculated by:
(a) dividing the concentration of each food additive in a food by the maximum permitted limit for that additive in that food; and
(b) adding the proportions together for each of the food additives performing the same technological function.
Example Formula for Food Additives Performing the Same Function
Sum of the proportion of food additives = (\frac{Conc\ A}{MPLA} + \frac{Conc\ B}{MPLB} + \frac{Conc\ C}{MPLC})
In this formula -
MPLA = Maximum permitted limit for food additive A in mg/kg
MPLB = Maximum permitted limit for food additive B in mg/kg
MPLC = Maximum permitted limit for food additive C in mg/kg
Conc A = concentration of food additive A in the food in mg/kg
Conc B = concentration of food additive B in the food in mg/kg
Conc C = concentration of food additive C in the food in mg/kg
[4.3] omitting clause 7, substituting -
7 Carry-over of food additives
Other than by direct addition, a food additive may be present in any food as a result of carry-over from a raw material or an ingredient, provided that the level of the food additive in the final food is no greater than would be introduced by the use of the raw material or ingredient under proper technological conditions and good manufacturing practice.
