Please let me know how this is interpreted, I have read the interpretation guide as well and still not clear.
5.4.4 says
"Where products are labeled or claims are made on finished packs which are dependent on a status of a raw material including:
-specific provenance or origin
...
...
..."
We have always gone through audits saying that we do not have any product claims. We don't have gluten free, don't claim anything like low fat, or GMO free statuses.
However, lately a teammember raised a good point about ingredient declaration.
If we declare an ingredient, for example, Belgian chocolate. Does this fall under the "specific provenance" category? Is this considered a product claim??
Because then we need to do a mass balance every 6 months to meet this requirement.
