TITLE 21--FOOD AND DRUGS
CHAPTER I--FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES (CONTINUED)
PART 130 FOOD STANDARDS: GENERAL--Table of Contents
Subpart A General Provisions
Sec. 130.9 Sulfites in standardized food.
(a) Any standardized food that contains a sulfiting agent or
combination of sulfiting agents that is functional and provided for in
the applicable standard or that is present in the finished food at a
detectable level is misbranded unless the presence of the sulfiting
agent or agents is declared on the label of the food. A detectable
amount of sulfiting agent is 10 parts per million or more of the sulfite
in the finished food. The level of sulfite in the finished food will be
determined using sections 20.123 through 20.125, ``Sulfurous Acid
(Total) in Food Modified Monier-Williams Method Final Action'' in
``Official Methods of Analysis of the
[[Page 290]]
Association of Official Analytical Chemists,'' 14th ed. (1984), which is
incorporated by reference in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR
part 51, and the refinements of the ``Total Sulfurous Acid'' procedure
in the ``Monier-Williams Procedure (with Modifications) for Sulfites in
Foods,'' which is appendix A to part 101 of this chapter. A copy of
sections 20.123 through 20.125 of the ``Official Methods of Analysis of
the Association of Official Analytical Chemists'' is available from AOAC
INTERNATIONAL, 481 North Frederick Ave., suite 500, Gaithersburg, MD
20877 , or available for at the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA). For information on the availability of this
material at NARA, call 202-741-6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/
federal--register/code--of--federal--regulations/ibr--locations.html.
(b) Any standardized food that, as a result of actions that are
consistent with current good manufacturing practice, contains an
indirectly added sulfiting agent that has no functional effect in the
food and that would, in the absence of Sec. 101.100(a)(4) of this
chapter, be considered to be an incidental additive for purposes of
Sec. 130.8, conforms to the applicable definition and standard of
identity if the presence of the sulfiting agent is declared on the label
of the food.
