HIGHLIGHTS OF DISCUSSION
The Delegation of Finland, speaking as the Chair of the insession
Working Group on the International Numbering System
(INS), introduced the report of the working group, as presented
in CRD 4.
The Committee considered the recommendations of the working
group as follows and, in addition to editorial changes, made the
following comments and conclusions.
Recommendations 1 and 2
The Committee noted that the purpose of recommendations 1
and 2 was to clarify the “Explanatory notes on the lay-out of the
INS” in Section 1 of the Class Names and International
Numbering System for Food Additives (CAC/GL 36-1989) by
addressing the concerns raised at the 42nd CCFA about the
inconsistent use of brackets in the names of compounds and the
use of the term “caustic” for describing the manufacturing
process which was used in association with caramel I (INS
150a) and caramel II (INS 150b).
The Committee noted that these changes would be reflected in
the next edition of the INS and that the inclusion of synonyms in
the INS was limited to a few substances.
It was also noted that substantial changes to Section 1
“Introduction” and Section 2 “Table of Functional Classes,
Definitions and Technological Purposes” would require approval
by the Commission for new work as changes would have
implications for other Codex texts.
COMMITTEE'S DECISION
Recommendations 1 and 2
The Committee agreed to amend the
“Explanatory notes on the lay-out of the
INS” in Section 1 “Introduction”, as
recommended by the in-session working
group to read:
...... However, in some instances the
number is followed by an alphabetical
suffix, for example,150a identifies Caramel I
– plain caramel and 150b identifies Caramel
II - sulfite caramel. .....
(replacing the third sentence in the first
paragraph);
The name of the food additive is sometimes
followed by an additional name in
parentheses. The parenthetical name is
optional, and may be used, when
necessary, to indicate another commonly
associated name or synonym for the
additive, for example INS 235 Natamycin
(Pimaricin). Not all synonyms are listed”.
The name of an additive is sometimes, after
a comma, followed by a description of the
additive, for example INS 161h(i)
Zeaxanthin, synthetic (new paragraph to be
inserted between the second and third
paragraphs).
