            Note  It is recommended that infant formula and a special medical purpose product for infants contain a substance listed in Column 1 of the table in an amount that is not more than the amount (if any) specified for that substance in Column 4 of the table. The amounts specified in Column 4 are Guidance Upper Levels and are recommended upper levels for nutrients which pose no significant risks on the basis of current scientific knowledge. These levels are values derived on the basis of meeting nutritional requirements of infants and an established history of apparent safe use. These Guidance Upper Levels should not be exceeded unless higher nutrient levels cannot be avoided due to high or variable contents in constituents of infant formulas or special medical purpose product for infants; or due to technological reasons.
