Notes
In preparing this Malawi Standard reference was been made to British Standard, BS 2621-5: 1979 Specification for glycerol and an Indian Standard, IS 12590:1988 Specification for glycerine for cosmetic industry.
Essential composition and quality requirements (General, salting and maturing, final product, grading), food additives, contaminants, hygiene, packaging and labelling.
The standard contains requirements on Product description, essential composition and quality factors, food additves, contaminants, hygiene, packaging and labeling.
Food grade salt is directly consumed by a large population, hence high risk of health hazards.
