In the EU [European Union], a food additive is permitted to be present in a final product made of more than one ingredient(also called a compound foodstuff) even if this food additive is not allowed in this final product, as long as the food additive is permitted in one of the ingredients of the compound food. This is called the carry-over principle. This principle does not apply to : infant formula, follow on formula, processed cereal-based foods, baby foods and dietary foods for special medical purposes intended for infants and young children, except where specially provided for.

  • Veterinary Drugs
DEF

An antibiotic obtained from Streptomyces lasaliensis that is used as a coccidiostat, especially in poultry.

CONT

The drug lasalocid is permitted in poultry raised for meat. The Soil Association claims that tests on eggs by the UK government's veterinary medicines directorate show residues were found in 12 per cent of egg samples last year, up from 1 per cent in 1999. This means that consumers may be eating up to three million eggs a day containing residues.... Lasalocid is regarded by the UK government as a food additive rather than a growth-promoting antibiotic, over which there are controls. This means that no "safe" limits have been prescribed on residues of lasalocid.

The legislation sets out the broad requirements for registration of pesticides in Canada. The regulations provide further details regarding the types of information that must be submitted to satisfy the Minister that a product is acceptable for the Canadian market.

Incidental additives are substances which may be present in finished food in trace quantities as a result of production, processing, storage or packaging. For example, an incidental additive could be a substance present in food because of migration or transfer from the package or processing equipment.

OBS

Examples of incidental additives are chemical spray residues not completely removed from crops during processing, antibiotics administered to animals in feeds, and lubricants for food-processing machinery, baking pans, and confectioners’ slabs.

Key term(s)

DEF

A chemical compound having the formula MgO which appears under the form of a noncombustible, white, alkaline powder, either light or heavy depending upon whether it is prepared by heating magnesium carbonate or the basic magnesium carbonate, is slightly soluble in water, soluble in acids and ammonium salt solutions, insoluble in alcohol, combines with water to form magnesium hydroxide, occurs naturally as the mineral periclase, is derived(1) by calcining magnesium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide,(2) by treating magnesium chloride with lime and heating or by heating it in air,(3) from seawater via the hydroxide, and is used as an inorganic rubber accelerator, a polycrystalline ceramic for aircraft windshields, in refractories, especially for steel furnace linings, for electrical insulation, in fertilizers, oxychloride and oxysulfate cements, paper manufacture, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, semiconductors, for the removal of sulfur dioxide from stack gases and as a feed additive and in the food industry(mainly for the deacidification of butter, cooa, and some canned or frozen foods).

OBS

Two forms are produced, one termed "Light," a fluffy material prepared by a relatively low-temperature dehydration of the hydroxide, the other termed "Heavy," a dense material made by high-temperature furnacing of the oxide after it has been formed from the carbonate or hydroxide.
