41. The 23rd Session of the Commission adopted the amended Table 3 and its Annex at Step 8 with modifications.[20] The 31st CCFAC also agreed to request comments for the inclusion of additional additives with an ADI of "not specified" in Table 3 of the GSFA.[21]
42. Ten substances were discussed for inclusion in table 3 of the GSFA as per the comments submitted and following the results of the 53rd JECFA meeting. The Committee agreed with the conclusions of the WG and did not include hydrogenated poly 1-decene in Table 3 as it had "no ADI allocated". The Committee also agreed with the conclusions of the GSFA WG and the recommendations of the informal WG on the INS system and decided not to include alpha-acetolactate decarboxylase and maltogenic amylase in Table 3 as these substances were exclusively used as processing aids.
43. The Committee agreed to enter Processed Eucheuma Seaweed (INS 407a); Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, enzymatically hydrolyzed (INS 469); Gamma-cyclodextrin; Polyglycitol syrup; Erythritol; Curdlan; and, Sodium Sulfate (INS 514) in table 3 of the GSFA, with the understanding that INS numbers would be assigned as necessary (see paras. 72-74 and Appendix VII).
44. The representative of the European Union requested the inclusion of Paprika Oleoresins (INS 160c) as a colour in Table 1. The Secretariat clarified that the JECFA evaluation of the substance had concluded that an ADI was not necessary. However, as the final JECFA recommendation was "ADI not allocated", the JECFA Secretariat agreed to clarify the exact status of the compound for consideration by the 33rd CCFAC.
45. The Committee agreed to circulate the above proposed draft amendments (see Appendix VI) to Table 3 for comments at Step 3 of the Accelerated Procedure, subject to confirmation by the 47th Session of the Executive Committee.
