Hi everyone!
Currently our company is currently actively communicating with a Chinese supplier to purchase a premix flour-intended for making Bapao. This premix flour is primarily based on wheat flour but also contains sugar, baking powder (E170, E450(i), E500(ii), and E341(i)), and some fats. I consider it to fall under Food Category 6.2 – Flours and starches. However, if I understand correctly, E170 and E500(ii) would not be permitted in this category. At the same time, I know that E170 and E500(ii) are very common additives, so I am wondering if my categorization of this product is incorrect and perhaps it should belong to a different food category. I am quite confused and am seeking your guidance.
