HIGHLIGHTS OF DISCUSSION<br />
The FAO JECFA Secretary presented the results of the 73 rd<br />
Meeting of JECFA regarding the specifications for identity <strong>and</strong><br />
purity of food additives as outlined in the Annex of CX/FA<br />
11/43/17. The Secretary informed the Committee that a total of<br />
six food additives <strong>and</strong> 180 flavourings (new <strong>and</strong> revised)<br />
specifications had been prepared as full, the specification for<br />
one food additive had been assigned a status as tentative <strong>and</strong><br />
the tentative specifications for 1 food additive had been<br />
withdrawn.<br />
The Committee also noted that necessary corrections <strong>and</strong> minor<br />
editorial revisions had been made to eight JECFA specifications<br />
concerning the limits <strong>and</strong> information on metals <strong>and</strong> arsenic<br />
published in the Combined Compendium of <strong>Food</strong> Additive<br />
Specifications (FAO JECFA Monographs 1) to correspond to<br />
those agreed <strong>and</strong> published in the relevant reports of JECFA.<br />
The Delegation of Paraguay suggested an alternative assay<br />
method in addition to the previous one for steviol glycosides<br />
(INS 960), pointing out the resolution problem of the analytical<br />
methodology used to define the specifications for the identity<br />
<strong>and</strong> purity of this food additive. The JECFA Secretariat clarified<br />
that the revision of the specifications for steviol glycosides had<br />
been undertaken at request of the Committee to include 2<br />
additional steviol glycosides in the assay method <strong>and</strong> it was not<br />
possible to have 2 different assay methods in the specifications.<br />
She informed the Committee that according to her information,<br />
the stevia producers were working to harmonise their methods<br />
based on the JECFA specifications. The Committee noted the<br />
view expressed by the Delegation of Paraguay <strong>and</strong> agreed to<br />
adopt the specifications for this food additive as prepared by<br />
JECFA.<br />
The Committee agreed not to adopt the full specifications of the<br />
13 flavourings for which JECFA had required additional data to<br />
complete their evaluations. The Observer from IOFI indicated<br />
COMMITTEE'S DECISION<br />
