When an ingredient is a combination of two or more product additives, this ingredient (compound ingredient) can be listed as one, as long as it goes with a list (in parenthesis) of its individual constituents in decreasing order of proportions. When a compound ingredient, which has a name from the Codex or from a national norm, has a 25 percent share (or less) of the total product, its ingredient list does not need to be specified, except for the food additives that have a technological function in the final product.
