HIGHLIGHTS OF DISCUSSION
Proposed Draft Regional Standard for Chili Sauce
The Committee noted that the provisions for sodium ascorbate
(INS 301) and potassium ascorbate (INS 303) listed in section
4.3 “Antioxidants” and the provision for pullulan (INS 1204) were
not necessary as they were already covered in the provisions
regarding the uses of acidity regulators, antioxidants, colours,
flavours enhancers, preservatives, sweeteners and thickeners
listed in Table 3 of the GSFA in Section 4.1. It was also noted
that pullulan did not have “thickener” as technological purpose.
The Delegation of the European Union expressed concern on
the use of sulfites in these products. The Observer of NHF
expressed concern on the use of sweeteners: acesulfame
potassium (INS 950), aspartame (INS 951) and sucralose (INS
955) in these products.
*Note : During the in-session WG, US noted that tartrates was
given a group ADI by JECFA. US proposed CCFA seek
clarification whether other tartrates are technologically justified
as acidity regulator in this standard noting that the reporting
basis is „as tartaric acid‟. US also seek the same clarification for
other types of benzoates (other than INS 214) and saccharins
(other than INS 954(iv)) since these additives also were given
group ADI. Some delegations proposed not to endorse provision
for curcumin since this additive has a numerical ADI thus the ML
should be numerical. As for paprika oleoresin, US noted the ADI
given by JECFA was for the use as spice not as colour thus
proposed CCFA not to endorse this provision. EU expressed
reservation on the provision for sulphites. Finland questioned
the technological function of Pullulan in chilli sauce since it did
not have „thickener‟ as technological function.
COMMITTEE'S DECISION

Flour, as proposed by the CCASIA.
The Committee endorsed the food
additives provisions in the
proposed draft Regional Standard
for Chili Sauce, as proposed by the
CCASIA, with the exception of the

ADI; and
