Proposed amendment to Exempt Resolution No. 394/02 of the Ministry of Health, establishing nutritional guidelines for dietary supplements and their vitamin and mineral contents
-__________1 This information can be provided by including a website address, a PDF attachment, or other information on where the text of the final/modified measure and/or interpretative guidance can be obtained.
At present, various types of sugar — both traditional and non-traditional — are used to sweeten foods. Additives that have the secondary effect of sweetening foods are also used. These additives are not expressly included in the list of fortification exclusions established by Exempt Resolution No. 393/02 of the Ministry of Health. This creates the risk that these substances could be used as vehicles for substances or elements that have a physiological effect on the body, such as vitamins, minerals, prebiotics, probiotics, beta-glucans, EPA, and DHA. This represents an interpretation problem under the regulation, with implications for control and compliance.
