07.2.1 Cakes, cookies and pies (e.g. fruit-filled or custard types)
Codex food category, from Codex General Standard for Food Additives (CXS 192-1995), Annex B.
Codex's category system is hierarchical: an additive recognised for a general category is recognised for all its subcategories, unless otherwise stated. So this page lists the additives provided for this category directly, and then those provided for the broader categories that contain it. The exceptions — "unless otherwise stated" — are carried in the notes beside each provision: a note such as "Excluding chocolate milk" narrows what the provision permits, including for the subcategories that inherit it. Read the notes on a broader category's provisions before applying them here.
Provided for this category
Provided for broader categories
These apply here through the hierarchy, subject to their own notes and conditions. Where an additive is also provided for this category directly, it is marked; the direct provision is listed above.
