Dear Chella Rao
The inspector and you should have read this beforehand ...
download the directive:
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/site/en/consleg/1995/L/01995L0002-20060815-en.pdf
then goto page 35 and read
"In the following applications the indicated maximum levels of
phosphoric acid and the phosphates E 338, E 339, E 340, E 341,
E 343, E 450, E 451 and E 452 may be added individually or
in combination (expressed as P2O5):"
read further on page 36 about seafood.
For exporters:
Note that it is possible that in specific EU countries the implementation of a DIRECTIVE
might slightly differ from the directive's exact text. This is because a Directive is a
'guideline' in contrast to a Regulation which is by definition equal in each member state.
