Appendix 11Assessment of ResultsAll samples were found to conform to the Code with respect to sulphites (calculated as sulphur dioxide) and fornitrates. The two samples that appeared to be slightly orange in colour were found not to contain any artificialcolours.The three products that had a claim on the label with respect to the fat content of the food were found to conformto the claim and to the information included on the label’s nutrition information panel.ConclusionTwenty cheese products were sampled and examined for chemical standards and conformity to the Code.All samples conformed to the Code with respect to additives allowed in cheese and labelling requirementsregarding health claims.The majority of cheese products had results below the limit of detection for that additive, which suggests that otherprocesses are in use to control micro-organisms of concern. In particular this survey indicates that these productscan safely be provided to children who have allergies to sulphites.Additionally, these results are consistent with the 2004 Annual Total Diet Survey results which reported similarnitrate levels in cheese products sampled and concluded that cheese products contributed less than 5% of dietaryexposure to nitrates.page 93Food Act Report Year ending 30 June 2010
