2.2.16 DISCUSSION PAPER ON DEVELOPMENT OF A DATABASE ON PROCESSING AIDS (Agenda Item 10)<br />

HIGHLIGHTS OF DISCUSSION<br />

(Documents : CX/FA 11/43/20; CRD 22 (Comments of Brazil,<br />

Egypt, European Union, India <strong>and</strong> Thail<strong>and</strong>))<br />

The Delegation of New Zeal<strong>and</strong> presented the report of the e-<br />

WG, which provided suggestions on the structure <strong>and</strong> content of<br />

a database for processing aids. The Delegation explained that<br />

the structure <strong>and</strong> content of the database depended on its<br />

intended uses <strong>and</strong> users <strong>and</strong> could include: introduction <strong>and</strong><br />

background; scope <strong>and</strong> purpose; information on the safe <strong>and</strong><br />

technologically justified use of substances used as processing<br />

aids; definition of terms; <strong>and</strong> a main section on information<br />

about substances, based on the existing structure of the<br />

Inventory of Substances Used as Processing Aids (IPA). The e-<br />

WG report also presented options for the criteria for the entry<br />

<strong>and</strong> management of substances in the database.<br />

The JECFA Secretariat commented on the need to use<br />

innovative techniques when developing the database,<br />

especially in terms of “search” <strong>and</strong> “link” functions. She said that<br />

it would also be useful to consider existing databases, such as<br />

the JECFA food additive specifications, rather than focusing on<br />

the structure of the IPA paper document.<br />

Delegations also noted that: when considering the entries in the<br />

database it should not be assumed that all entries of the IPA<br />

are correct; the criteria on safety <strong>and</strong> technological used<br />

established in the Codex Guidelines on Substances Used as<br />

Processing Aids (CAC/GL 75-2010) should always be met.<br />

COMMITTEE'S DECISION<br />

Conclusion<br />

The Committee agreed to the proposal of<br />

the Chairperson to follow a stepwise<br />

approach. In the first step, China would<br />

develop a prototype of the database<br />

showing the main layout <strong>and</strong> present it<br />

at the next session of the Committee.<br />

The criteria for the entry of substances <strong>and</strong><br />

the management of the database would be<br />

considered at a subsequent step.<br />
