Please note that Directive 95/2/EC DOES NOT mention "Malacide" as such
and that probably there are other ingredients in Malacide then the ones
mentioned by Liz. Don't forget - also in relation to additives - that the
presence of any of 12 allergens shall be declared in the ingredients list in EU.
Dir. 95/2/EC sums up permitted additives (other then colours and
sweeteners), but be aware of the fact the lots of those additives are only
conditionally permitted in certain foodstuffs and often maximum levels are
established.
