Processing aid list allowed was modified as well; for example, Immobilized Tannin was removed, L-Malic acid was included.
The new regulation specifies on cleanser, disinfectant, and sanitizer allowed to use during organic plant production, and included microbial product in disease prevention and treatment for organic meat source breeding.
Packaging material for food ingredients is also regulated, while it was only regulated the packing material for final food product.
Saponin groups, as pesticides or antimicrobial reagent, are included in the new version as plant protector, such as tea saponin. Physical methods to protect organic plant are also listed, such as mulches and pest control traps.
