13. List of Permitted Starch-Modifying Agents (Lists of Permitted Food Additives)
This List of Permitted Starch-Modifying Agents sets out authorized food additives that are used to modify the structural properties of a starch. It is incorporated by reference in the Marketing Authorization for Food Additives That May Be Used as Starch-Modifying Agents.
Note: A transition guide has been created to provide stakeholders with further information on the Lists of Permitted Food Additives as well as guidance on how to interpret and use these lists.
