CATEGORY II (RECOMMENDED FOR ADOPTION AFTER CHANGES CONSIDERED AS EDITORIAL HAVE BEEN MADE

Food Additives

Lactitol (correct structural formula; should have 1–4 bond, not 1–3 bond; check the limit for reducing sugars: 0.2% or 0.1%)
Maltitol (check chemical name)
Mannitol (correct structural formula; should be D-, not L-)
Sorbitol (correct structural formula; should be D-, not L-)

1 Specification under Categories III, IV and V are included in the Report of the Working Group on Specifications (Conference Room Document 2)

Flavouring agents

Allyl heptanoate (correct CAS number, should be 142–19–8)
Allyl phenoxyacetate (review specific gravity)
Allyl 10-undecanoate (Council of Europe number should be 441 (not 442))
Ethyl acetate*(add reference to specifications for the substance when used as a carrier solvent)

* Specifications were prepared for the substance both as a flavouring agent and for its uses as other than as a flavouring agent, e.g. carrier or extraction solvent.
