For Ice Structuring Protein type III HPLC 12 in the Table to clause 14, the manufacturer and patent holder, Unilever, has undertaken to voluntarily label products where the processing aid has been used in the manufacturing process.

If Listeria phage P100 has an ongoing technological function it ceases to be a processing aid as defined in subclause 1(1), and operates instead as a food additive. For example, Listeria phage P100 may have an ongoing technological function when introduced to liquids. Standard 1.3.1 does not permit the use of Listeria phage P100 as a food additive.
