Amendment of regulation 11
(g) where the food contains food additive, a statement as to the presence
in that food of such food additive,
(i) state the functional class of the relevant food additive,
followed by the name and the INS number in brackets,
(ii) where the food additive other than flavouring substance
does not have INS number, only the functional class and
the name shall be declared; or;
(iii) where the food additive is a flavouring substance, only the
functional class shall be declared;
(g)(a) for the purpose of subregulation (1)(g), where the food contains food
additive of animal origin, the origin shall be specified the common
name of such animal in brackets, immediately following the INS
number,
(g)(b) notwithstanding anything in these Regulations, where the food
contains more than one food additive or of more than one food additive
functional class, a single statement is sufficient,
(g)(c) for the purpose of subregulation (1)(g), where the food contains food
additive of animal origin, the origin shall be specified by the common
name of such animal in brackets, immediately after the functional
class, name or INS number,

the standard for certain permitted food additive
prescribed in Table III of the Sixth B Schedule.
Provided that where no standard is prescribed, the purity of the
permitted food additive shall conform to the specifications as
recommended by the Joint Food and Agriculture Organisation of the
United Nations and World Health Organisation (FAO/WHO) Expert
Committee on Food Additives (JECFA).
(4) Notwithstanding subregulation (3), the addition of food additive

the Director.
(5) For the purpose of subregulation (4), a reference in these
Regulations to addition or use of "other food" in the composition of food
for which a standard is prescribed in these Regulations shall not be
construed as permission for the use of food additives.
(6) The proportion of the addition of food additive to food shall not
exceed the maximum proportion, if any, prescribed under these
Regulations. Where no maximum proportion is prescribed, the food
additive shall be used in accordance with good manufacturing practice.
(7) Where the use of more than one of such preservatives and
antioxidants is permitted by these Regulations, the amount of each shall
be such that when expressed as a percentage of the amount permitted
singly, the sum of the several percentages does not exceed one
hundred
(8) No person shall introduce into or on a food any food additive in
such a manner as to conceal any damage to, or any inferiority in the
quality of that food.
(9) Notwithstanding anything in these Regulations, a food additive

or ingredient used to produce the food, provided that -
(a) the additive is permitted by these Regulations to be
in any ingredient used in the manufacture of the
food;

would be the case if the food were made under
proper technological conditions and in accordance
with good manufacturing practice; and
(e) the additive carried over is present in the food at a
level that is significantly less than that normally
required for the additive to achieve an efficient
technological function in its own right.
(10) For the purpose of subregulation 11(1)(g), INS refers to a
harmonized naming system for food additives developed by Codex
Alimentarius and published in Codex Class Names and the International
Numbering System for Food Additives, CAC/GL 36.

before, during or after filling with food with the intention to
protect the food, for example, from oxidation or spoilage.

protecting against deterioration caused by microorganisms
Propellant A food additive gas, which expels a food from a container
Raising agent A food additive or a combination of food additives, which
