HIGHLIGHTS OF DISCUSSION
Verbal intervention during pWG
“Malaysia would like to inform that steviol glycosides are
permitted to be added into food at GMP level under the
Malaysian Food Regulations 1985. However, Malaysia
agrees with IDF to discontinue provision for F.C 01.2 and
01.2.1 as well as proposal by the Chair to insert Note in F.C
01.1.2 to inform that only flavoured products are allowed to
add steviol glycoside. This is in line with the STAN 243
Codex Standard for Fermented Milks.”
“Malaysia supports the adoption of maximum level
330mg/kg in F.C 01.7 Dairy-based desserts as it is used by
the industry in addition to sugar and other types of
sweetening substance.”
“Malaysia agrees with the comments by US and supports
the adoption of maximum level of 200mg/kg steviol
glycosides in F.C 06.8.1. This level is technologically
justified to produce the intensity of sweetness in the
product.”
