Besides the colour pigments, this substance may contain oils, fats and waxes naturally occurring in the source material.’ (2) The entry for E 151 Brilliant Black BN, Black PN, is amended as follows: (a) the heading is replaced by the following: ‘E 151 BRILLIANT BLACK PN’ (b) the specification as regards definition is replaced by the following: ‘ Definition Brilliant Black PN consists essentially of tetrasodium-4-acetamido-5- hydroxy-6-[7-sulfonato-4-(4-sulfonatophenylazo)-1-naphthylazo] naphthalene-1,7-disulfonate and subsidiary colouring matters together with sodium chloride and/or sodium sulphate as the principal uncoloured components. Brilliant Black PN is described as the sodium salt. The calcium and the potassium salt are also permitted.’ (3) In the entry for E 227 Calcium Bisulphite, the heading is replaced by the following: ‘E 227 CALCIUM HYDROGEN SULPHITE’ (4) In the entry for E 228 Potassium Bisulphite, the heading is replaced by the following: ‘E 228 POTASSIUM HYDROGEN SULPHITE’ (5) The entry for E 460(i) Microcrystalline Cellulose is amended as follows: (a) the heading is replaced by the following: ‘E 460 (i) MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE, CELLULOSE GEL’ (b) the specification as regards synonyms is replaced by the following: ‘Synonyms’ (6) The entry for E 466 Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose, Carboxy Methyl Cellulose, Cellulose Gum is amended as follows: (a) the heading is replaced by the following: ‘E 466 SODIUM CARBOXY METHYL CELLULOSE, CELLULOSE GUM’ (b) the specification as regards synonyms is replaced by the following: ‘ Synonyms NaCMC; Sodium CMC’ (c) the specification as regards definition is replaced by the following: ‘ Definition Sodium carboxy methyl cellulose is the partial sodium salt of a carboxymethyl ether of cellulose, the cellulose being obtained directly from strains of fibrous plant material’
