REP 13/FA 12<br />
Conclusion (Recommendation 1)<br />
91. The Committee endorsed the recommendations of the Working Group to forward to the 36 th Session of<br />
the Commission the provisions for food aluminium containing food additives for adoption at Step 8 or 5/8<br />
(see para 101).<br />
92. The Delegations of the European Union and Norway expressed reservation to this decision.<br />
Recommendations 2 and 3<br />
93. The Committee endorsed the recommendation to discontinue work on the draft and proposed draft<br />
provisions of food aluminium-containing food additives (Appendix VII) and to recommend the 36 th Session of<br />
the Commission to revoke or make recommendations to relevant committees for the revocations of<br />
provisions for aluminium-containing food additives included in a number of commodity standards.<br />
94. With regard to the recommendation to CCFFP to consider the revision of the provision for sodium<br />
aluminium phosphate (INS 541) in the Standard for quick frozen fish sticks (fish fingers), fish portions and<br />
fish filets breaded or in batter (<strong>CODEX</strong> STAN 166-1989), the Committee noted that the recommendation of<br />
the Working Group to align the provision with the corresponding GSFA provision in food category 06.6<br />
“Batters (e.g. for breading or batters for fish or poultry)” could result in a higher maximum level for aluminium<br />
than the current provision in the commodity standard which was expressed as phosphate. Therefore, the<br />
Committee revised the recommendation and agreed to recommend CCFFP to recalculate the provision on<br />
an aluminium basis, in line with its previous recommendation that all maximum use levels of aluminiumcontaining<br />
food additives should be numerical and expressed on an aluminium basis.<br />
Conclusion (Recommendations 2 and 3)<br />
95. The Committee agreed to forward to the 36 th Session of the Commission for revocation the provisions<br />
for aluminium-containing food additives included in a number of standards for which there was no active<br />
committees (Appendix VII).<br />
96. The Commission further recommended the Committees on Processed Fruits and Vegetables<br />
(CCPFV), on Fish and Fish Products (CCFFP) and on Sugars (CCS) to consider:<br />
- Revocation of the provision for aluminium potassium sulfate (INS 522) in the Standard for canned<br />
chestnut and canned chestnut puree (<strong>CODEX</strong> STAN 145-1985) (action by CCPFV);<br />
- Revision of the provision for sodium aluminium phosphate (INS 541) in the Standard for quick frozen<br />
fish sticks (fish fingers), fish portions and fish filets breaded or in batter (<strong>CODEX</strong> STAN 166-1989)<br />
(currently at 1g/kg expressed as P 2 O 5 in breaded and battered coatings) to express the maximum use<br />
levels on an aluminium basis, taking into account the revised JECFA PTWI (action by CCFFP); and<br />
- Revocation of the provisions for sodium aluminosilicate (INS 554) and calcium aluminium silicate (INS<br />
556) in the Standard for sugars (<strong>CODEX</strong> STAN 212-1999) (action by CCS).<br />
Matters related to Agenda Items 5c “Proposed Draft Food Additive Provisions for Aspartame -<br />
Acesulfame Salt (INS 962) ((Replies to CL 2012/5-FA Part B, Point 7)” 14 and Agenda Item 5g “Proposals<br />
for Application of Note 188 to Provisions for Acesulfame Potassium (INS 950) and Note 191 to<br />
Provisions for Aspartame (INS 951)” 15<br />
97. The Committee noted that Appendix VIII of CRD 2 included a document that compiled: (i) proposed<br />
draft provisions for aspartame-acesulfame salt (INS 962) (replies to CL 2012/5-FA Part B, point 7), related to<br />
Agenda Item 5c; (ii) proposals for new provisions and/or revision of provisions for acesulfame potassium<br />
(INS 950), aspartame (INS 951) and aspartame-acesulfame salt (INS 962) (replies to CL 2012/5-FA Part B,<br />
point 10) related to Agenda Item 5f, and proposals for the application of Note 188 to provisions for<br />
acesulfame potassium (INS 950) and Note 191 to provisions for aspartame (INS 951) related to Agenda Item<br />
5g. The Committee noted that consideration of this compilation could interfere with the work on Note 161,<br />
agreed under Agenda 9b. Therefore, the Committee agreed to postpone consideration of this matter.<br />
98. With regard to consideration of Notes 188 and 191, the Delegation of Japan, referring to their<br />
comments in CRD 6, proposed to consider, at the same time as the revision of Notes 188 and 191, the<br />
revision of Notes 113 and 119, which were also related to acesulfame, acesulfame potassium and<br />
aspartame-acesulfame salts.<br />
