20% of available carbohydrates in the formula.
            (4) Subsection (2) does not apply to added fructose and/or added sucrose that is present in infant formula and follow-on formula as a result of:
               (a) the addition of inulin-type fructans to the infant formula or follow-on formula in accordance with this Standard; and/or
               (b) the use of a substance as a processing aid in accordance with this Code in the manufacture of the infant formula or follow-on formula.

 (5) The fluoride content of infant formula and follow-on formula must not exceed:

               (a) if in a powdered or concentrated form—17 μg/100 kJ; and
               (b) if in a 'ready-to-drink' form—24 μg/100 kJ.
            (6)  The amounts in subsection (5) apply to the infant formula or follow-on formula as sold.

           2.9.1—6 Protein requirements

            (1) Infant formula and follow-on formula must be derived only from one or more of the following proteins:

                (a) cow milk;
               (b) goat milk;
               (c) sheep milk;
               (d) soy protein isolate;

               (e) a partially hydrolysed protein of one or more of the above.

            (2) Infant formula must have a protein content of:
               (a) for milk-based infant formula—no less than 0.43 g/100 kJ and no more than 0.72 g/100 kJ; and
               (b) for infant formula that is not milk-based infant formula—no less than 0.54 g/100 kJ and no more than 0.72 g/100 kJ.

            (3) Follow-on formula must have a protein content of:

               (a) for milk-based follow-on formula—no less than 0.38 g/100 kJ and no more than 0.72 g/100 kJ; and
               (b) for follow-on formula that is not milk-based follow-on formula—no less than 0.54 g/100 kJ and no more than 0.72 g/100 kJ.

            (4) For the purposes of subsections (2) and (3):

              (a)  milk-based infant formula means infant formula that is derived only from one or more of the following proteins: cow milk; goat milk; sheep milk; a partially hydrolysed protein of one or more of cow milk, goat milk and sheep milk; and

              (b)  milk-based follow-on formula means follow-on formula that is derived only from one or more of the following proteins: cow milk; goat milk; sheep milk; a partially hydrolysed protein of one or more of cow milk, goat milk and sheep milk.

            (5) The L-amino acids listed in the table to section S29—3 must be present in infant formula and follow-on formula at a level not less than the corresponding minimum level specified in the table.

            (6) The minimum levels specified in the table to section S29—3 for cysteine and for methionine do not apply if:

               (a)  the minimum amount of combined cysteine and methionine in the infant formula and follow-on formula is not less than 15 mg per 100 kJ; and

               (b) the ratio of methionine to cysteine in the infant
