Hi Chella,
Answer to your question is mainly linked to what your buyer do with your products. Are they directly distributed in Supermarkets or restaurants ? or submitted to a limited reprocess e.g. repack in EU?
According to Directive No 95/2/EC (as well as French legislation), only E452 is allowed as additive for fishery products (and not all the fishery products, but I believe your products are submitted to a minimum process).
E451 is allowed for surimi.
E 450 is not for any fishery product.
However, some EU importers reprocess the material prior to market them.
So, it is possible that the residual amounts in the finished and dsitributed products can be considered as not offering any technological property to the product. Therefore, they become processing aid and there is no need to label them.
As a consequence, nobody knows... thanks the Directive No 2000/13/EC and amendments.
Actually, CFB offers different CARNAL, with different compositions so for different applications.

Dear List Members,
One of the EU - FVO inspectors who visited India in November 2006
objected to the use of "CARNAL" in fishery products. CARNAL is a
mixture of phosphates E 451, E 452 and E450. The objection was on
the ground that E 450 is not permitted by EU DIRECTIVE 95/2/EC for
use in fishery products. Carnal is manufacured by BUDENHEIM - a
German company and EU importers require us to use it in fishery
products. Will any one clarify whether E450 is really not permitted by
EU for use in fishery products ?
Thanks and best regards.
