CAC/MISC 6-2012 List of Codex Specifications for Food Additives
INTRODUCTION
The following two tables list all of the specifications for food additives (Table 1) and flavourings (Table 2) adopted by reference by the Commission as well as their initial year of adoption and years of subsequent adoptions of revisions. Years in brackets indicate adoption of revised limits for arsenic and heavy metals, only; these limits supersede those in the full specification monograph adopted in an earlier-cited year. Those substances recognized as having both flavouring and non-flavouring functionality are listed in both tables. In some instances, the year of adoption of the specification for the flavourings will differ from the year of adoption of the specification for the non-flavour application.
The Specifications have been prepared by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and have been published in the FAO JECFA Monographs 1 (2005), Combined Compendium of Food Additive Specifications (all current specifications monographs from the 1st to 65th meeting of JECFA) and in later publications in the same series. The specifications monographs are also accessible on the JECFA website:
