(1)

Subject to paragraph 7, the results of tests for specific migration in foods containing more than 20% fat shall be corrected by the fat reduction factor (“FRF”), being a factor between 1 and 5 (expressed as M_FRF) by which measured migration of lipophilic substances listed in Annex IVa into a fatty food or stimulant D and its substitutes are divided before comparison with specific migration limits.

(2)

The following equations shall be applied before comparison with the specific migration limit–

(a)

M_FRF = M/FRF, and

(b)

FRF = (g fat in food/kg of food)/200 = (% fat × 5)/100.
