HIGHLIGHTS OF DISCUSSION
Proposed draft Annex on Certain Mushrooms (revision of
CODEX STAN 55-1981) (for inclusion in Standard for Certain
Canned Vegetables - CODEX STAN 297-2009)
The Delegation of the European Union expressed concern that
the use of caramel IV and monosodium glutamate in canned
mushroom in regular packs (brine, water) could mask poor
quality of the raw materials.
*Note : During the in-session WG, EU and Norway expressed
reservation on the endorsement of Caramel IV and MSG and
raised concern that both additives were not technologically
justified for use in canned mushroom. Delegation from US noted
that other colours and flavour enhancers allowed in Food
Category 04.2.2.4 was not included in the list there was no
explanation by CCPFV on the need for these additives. The WG
agreed to defer to CCPFV on the technological need when
proposing additives for endorsement. The WG also
recommends requesting CCPFV to provide justification on why
other colours and flavour enhancers are not technologically
