Draft Ministry of Public Health Notification, No. ... B.E. .... entitled "Food Additives (No. 3)" |
Summary |
The Ministry of Public Health Notification No. 363 B.E. 2556 (2013) entitled Food Additives (No. 2) prescribes the labelling of food additives by
declaring additional details in order to ensure the correct use of food additives by food processors. The Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) considered that it was appropriate to revise the detail of food additives labelling as follows:
* Clause 1 - Revised some of the existing provisions of food additives labelling in order to comply with the Notification of the Ministry of Public Health, No. 367 B.E. 2557 (2014) entitled Labelling of Prepackaged Foods, dated 8 May B.E. 2557 (2014).
These revisions include:
- name and address of manufacturer or packers or importers or head office;
- month and year of manufacture and expiration;
- details of food additives manufactured for export.
* Clause 2 - Amended the requirements by adding specific conditions for labelling of food additives derived from combining two or more kinds of food additives which are to be sold to food manufacturers or used as raw materials in food processing, but not sold directly to consumers or sold to food additive packers. However, there are two cases which may not require the declaration of the percentage of food additives on the label or in the manual or in the documents relating to the sale. These cases are indicated below:
1. The manufacture or imports of food additives for use in their own food product (or the same trademark of such manufacture or imports); or
2. The manufacture or imports of food additives for sale to food manufacturers with agreement to provide information of percentage of food additives. This MOPH Notification will be enforced after it is notified in the Official Gazette.
