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 />
