NOTE 1: The removal of non-edible parts shall not be carried out by any non-mechanical means (e.g., crude vegetable oil refining process). NOTE 2: When producing different products with the same food raw materials, the amount of edible parts varies depending on the production process. For example, when processing oatmeal and whole wheat flour by wheats, the edible part of the calculated by 100 %; when processing wheat flour, the edible part is converted by flour yield. 2.3 Limits The maximum level of contaminants allowed in the edible parts of food raw materials and/or food products.
