(1) Menaquinone occurring principally as menaquinone-7 and, to a minor extent, menaquinone-6.

(2) Selenium-enriched yeasts produced by culture in the presence of sodium selenite as selenium source and containing, in the dried form as marketed, not more than 2,5 mg Se/g. The predominant organic selenium species present in the yeast is selenomethionine (between 60 and 85 % of total extracted selenium in the product). The content of other organic selenium compounds including selenocysteine must not exceed 10 % of total extracted selenium. Levels of inorganic selenium normally must not exceed 1 % of total extracted selenium.

(3) For amino acids used in infant formula, follow-on formula, processed cereal-based food and baby food only the hydrochloride specifically mentioned may be used. For amino acids used in food for special medical purposes and in total diet replacement for weight control, as far as applicable, also the sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium salts as well as their hydrochlorides may be used.

(4) In the case of use in infant formula, follow-on formula, processed cereal-based food and baby food, only the form L-cystine may be used.
