Approved by Decision of the Customs Union Commission No. 299 dated 28 May, 2010 Uniform sanitary and epidemiological and hygienic requirements for products subject to sanitary and epidemiological supervision (control) (as amended by Decisions of the Customs Union Commission N 341 of 17.08.2010, N 456 of 18.11.2010, No 622 of 7 April 2011 and N 889 of 09.12.2011) Chapter II Part 1. Requirements for safety and nutrition value of food products 1. Uniform sanitary and epidemiological and hygienic requirements for safety and nutrition value of food products 1.1. Area of application 1. Sanitary and epidemiological and hygienic safety requirements (hereinafter referred to as “Uniform sanitary requirements”) shall be applied to food products according to products classification based on Customs Union Uniform FEACN codes (hereinafter referred to as CU FEACN). 2. This part of Uniform sanitary requirements is developed based on the legislation of the Customs Union states-members, as well as the international documents in the field of food products safety. 1.2. Terms and Definitions 3. This part of Uniform sanitary requirements uses the following terms and definitions for the purposes of this document: 1) “food products” – natural and processed type food products taken by a man as a food (including food for children, clinical nutrition food and other specialized foodstuffs), drinking water packed up in containers (bottled drinking water), alcoholic products (including beer), non-alcoholic drinks, chewing-gum, as well as food raw materials, food additives and biologically active additives. Requirements for water packed up in containers (bottled drinking water) are determined in other parts of the uniform sanitary requirements; 2) “biologically active additives to food (hereinafter referred to as “BAAs”)” are the products containing nutrient and (or) biologically active substances (their concentrates) of natural or artificial origin (identical to the natural), as well as prebiotic components and probiotic microorganisms, which are meant to be taken at the same time with food for optimisation of human ration and which are not the only source of food or dietary nutrition; 3) “food additive” is any substance (or mix of substances) not consumed by human directly as a food and meant to be included in food product when produced for technological purposes (function), including giving it a certain organoleptic properties and (or) preservation of quality and safety for determined period of use, which can perform several technological functions; 4) “specialized food products” are foodstuffs with the set chemical composition for various categories of population and (or) different physiological states. 5) “adequate consumption level” is the daily consumption level of nutrient and biologically active substances, established on the basis of calculated and observed quantities or levels of consumption of, nutrient and biologically active substances by a group /groups of almost healthy people»; 6) “maximum permissible consumption level” is the highest daily consumption level of nutrient and biologically active substances, which does not present danger of development of adverse impact on health state indicators of almost all persons of the general population older than 18 years»; 7) “norms of physiological need” is an averaged amount of the necessary intake of nutrient and biologically active substances, which ensure the optimal realization of physiological and biochemical processes inherent to human genotype». 8) “early-aged children” are children aged from 0 months to 3 years». 4. Terms not specially determined in this part are used in meanings established by the national legislation of the Customs Union states-members, as well as the international agreements concluded within the framework of Customs Union and Eurasian economical community. 1.3. General provisions 5.

Radiation indices of foodstuffs safety are established by Annex 3 to the Uniform sanitary requirements. 7. At development of new types of foodstuffs (obtained from non- traditional types of raw materials), new technological processes of manufacture, packing, storage, transportation of food products (not used before in the territory of Customs Union states-members) the individual entrepreneurs and legal entities shall substantiate the requirements for safety and nutritional value, period of use, as well as shall develop the test methodologies. Manufacture of new foodstuffs in the territory of Customs Union states- members, food products import to the territory of Customs Union states-members, which is carried out for the first time, shall be admitted only after their inspection for compliance with the Uniform sanitary requirements. 8.
