1 of the table to section S29—4 and present in the formula—contain not more than the maximum amount (if any) specified in Column 2 of the table for that fatty acid.
            (2)  Infant formula and follow-on formula may only contain medium chain triglycerides that:
               (a) contain predominantly the saturated fatty acids designated by 8 to 0 and 10 to 0; and
               (b) are one of the following:
                   (i) a natural constituent of a milk-based ingredient of that formula; or
                   (ii) for a fat soluble vitamin that is specified in a following table—a substance that was *used as a processing aid in the preparation of that permitted fat soluble vitamin for use in the formula:
                      (A) for infant formula—the table to section S29—5; and
                      (B) for follow-on formula—the table to section S29—6.
            (3)  Infant formula and follow-on formula must not have a phospholipid content of more than 72 mg/100 kJ.

           2.9.1—8 Required nutritive substances

            (1) Infant formula must contain each substance listed in Column 1 of the table to section S29—5 in an amount (including any naturally-occurring amount) that is:

                (a) no less than the minimum amount specified in Column 2 of the table; and
                (b) no more than the maximum amount (if any) specified in Column 3 of the table.
               Note It is recommended that infant formula contain a substance listed in Column 1 of the table to section S29—5 in an amount that is not more than the amount (if any) specified for that substance in Column 4 of that 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 due to technological reasons.

            (2) Follow-on formula must contain each substance listed in Column 1 of the table to section S29—6 in an amount (including any naturally-occurring amount) that is:

                (a) no less than the minimum amount specified in Column 2 of the table; and
                (b) no more than the maximum amount (if any) specified in Column 3 of the table.
               Note It is recommended that follow-on formula contain a substance listed in Column 1 of the table to section S29—6 in an amount that is not more than the amount (if any) specified for that substance in Column 4 of that table. The amounts specified in Column 4 are Guidance Upper Levels, which are recommended upper levels for nutrients
