1.3.3—6 Enzymes
  An enzyme listed in section S18—4 may be *used as a processing aid to perform any technological purpose if the enzyme is derived from the corresponding source specified in the table.
 Note 1 Section S18—4 lists enzymes of animal origin, enzymes of plant origin and enzymes of microbial origin.
 Note 2 Some enzymes identified in section S18—4 are protein engineered. If such an enzyme is used as a processing aid, the resulting food may have as an ingredient a food produced using gene technology, and the labelling and other requirements relating to foods produced using gene technology will apply—see Standard 1.2.1 and Standard 1.5.2, in particular section 1.5.2—3(b).
1.3.3—7 Microbial nutrients and microbial nutrient adjuncts
  A substance listed in section S18—5 may be *used as a processing aid to perform the technological purpose of a microbial nutrient or a microbial nutrient adjunct in the course of manufacture of any food.
Division 3 Processing aids that can be used with specified foods
1.3.3—8 Processing aids for water
  A substance listed in section S18—6 may be *used as a processing aid in the course of manufacture of:
 (a) packaged water; or
 (b) water that is used as an ingredient;
  if the substance is not present in the water at a level greater than the maximum permitted indicated in the corresponding row of the table.
 Note This section contains the permissions for fluoride to be used in water that is used as an ingredient in other foods, but not in water presented in packaged form. Standard 2.6.2 contains a permission to add fluoride to water presented in packaged form.
1.3.3—9 Bleaching, washing and peeling agents—various foods
  A substance listed in section S18—7 may be *used as a processing aid to perform the technological purpose of:
 (a) a bleaching agent; or
 (b) a washing agent; or
 (c) a peeling agent;
  for a food if the substance:
 (d) is used in relation to a food listed in the corresponding row of the table; and
 (e) is not present in the food at a level greater than the maximum permitted indicated in the corresponding row of the table.
1.3.3—10 Extraction solvents—various foods
  A substance listed in section S18—8 may be *used as a processing aid to perform the technological purpose of an extraction solvent if the substance:
 (a) is used in relation to a food listed in the corresponding row of the table;
