The Consumer Affairs Agency (CAA) conducted a preliminary investigation to consider the deletion of existing additives from "the Existing Additives List". As a result, it was found that there is a possibility that the 8 existing food additives enumerated in the attachment are not currently being sold. The CAA will therefore initiate a survey on the actual sales of these items and will request the concerned distributors to submit notifications to the agency by the end of March 2025 using the attached form if they are selling these items.
The CAA also intends to investigate the production strains and species of the existing additive "5'-Deaminase" together with the current situation regarding the sales of it.
