laporan bersama perwakilan malaysia - Food Safety and Quality ...

in June 2011.
HIGHLIGHTS OF DISCUSSION
Several delegations expressed their concern regarding the
safety of aluminium-containing food additives and questioned
the justification of adding new uses for these additives.
The Committee considered the recommendations of the e-WG
as follows:
Recommendation 1
The Committee noted that the compilation of proposals attached
to the report of the e-WG did not clearly identify all provisions,
including those containing Note 29 “Reporting basis not
specified”, for which
no comments or proposed MLs had been submitted. Therefore,
it agreed to make recommendations for revocation
/discontinuation of these provisions at its 44th session.
The Committee noted the information on approaches that could
be used to calculate the amount of aluminium in a compound
but did not take any decision on which was the appropriate
proportion of aluminium to be used in the conversion i.e. the
highest or the average percentage of aluminium.
COMMITTEE'S DECISION
Recommendation 1
The Committee agreed that all provisions
for aluminium-containing food additives
should be numerical and expressed on an
aluminium basis, and all relevant provisions
in the GSFA should include Note 6 “As
aluminium”. It was noted that for certain
aluminium salts, such as phosphates and
sulfates, it would be useful to express the
MLs on both as aluminium and compound
basis.
The Committee agreed to revoke or
discontinue work on all non-numerical
provisions for aluminium containing food
additives in the GSFA (see Appendices IV
and V).
