Draft Food (Amendment) Regulations 2014

Contents

The Agri-Food & Veterinary

Authority of Singapore (AVA)

has reviewed the Food

Regulations and proposes to

make an editorial amendment

to the mandatory statements

that must be declared on food

products containing

phytosterols, phytosterol

esters, phytostanols and

phytostanol esters.

Presently, food products

containing phytosterols,

phytosterol esters, phytostanols

and phytostanol esters are

required to carry the following

mandatory statements on their

product labels:

- The product is a special

purpose food intended

exclusively for people who

want to lower their

blood cholesterol level;

- Patients on cholesterol

lowering medication should

only consume the product

under medical supervision;

- The product may not be

nutritionally appropriate for

pregnant and breast-feeding

women and children

under the age of 5 years;

- The product should be

used as part of a balanced and

varied diet, including regular

consumption of fruit

and vegetables to help maintain

carotenoid levels;

- Consumption of more

than 3 g per day of added

phytosterols or phytostanols

should be avoided; and

- A statement suggesting

the amount of the food (in g or

ml) to be consumed each

time (referred to as a

serving) and the number of

servings suggested to be

consumed per day, with

a statement of the amount of

phytosterols or phytostanols

that each serving

contains.

Singapore proposes to amend

the above mandatory statements

to the following:

- The product may not be

nutritionally appropriate for

pregnant and breast-feeding

women and children

under the age of 5 years;

- The product should be

used as part of a balanced diet;

- A statement

recommending the daily

consumption of 2 - 3g of

phytosterols/phytostano

ls.

- A statement of the

amount of phytosterols,

phytosterol esters (calculated as

phytosterols),

phytostanols or phytostanol

esters (calculated as

phytostanols) that each

serving contains.

Title

Standards of Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters, New Residential Hydronic Heaters and Forced-Air Furnaces, and New Residential Masonry Heaters (88 pages, in English).

Contents

The EPA is proposing to

amend the Standards of

Performance for New

Residential Wood Heaters and

to add two new subparts:

Standards of Performance for

New Residential Hydronic

Heaters and Forced-Air

Furnaces and Standards of

Performance for New

Residential Masonry Heaters.

This proposal is aimed at

achieving several objectives

for new residential wood

heaters and other wood-

burning appliances, including

applying updated emission

limits that reflect the current

best systems of emission

reduction; eliminating

exemptions over a broad suite

of residential wood

combustion devices;

strengthening test methods as

appropriate; and streamlining

the certification process. This

proposal does not include any

requirements for heaters solely

fired by gas, oil or coal. In

addition, it does not include

any requirements associated

with appliances that are

already in use. The EPA

continues to encourage state,

local, tribal, and consumer

efforts to changeout (replace)

older heaters with newer,

cleaner, more efficient heaters,

but that is not part of this

federal rulemaking.

Particulate pollution from

wood heaters is a significant

national air pollution problem

and human health issue. Health

benefits associated with these

proposed regulations are

valued to be much greater than

the cost to manufacture

cleaner, lower emitting

appliances. These proposed

regulations would significantly

reduce particulate matter (PM)

emissions and many other

pollutants from these

appliances, including carbon

monoxide (CO), volatile

organic compounds (VOC),

and hazardous air pollutants

(HAP). Emissions from wood

stoves occur near ground level

in residential communities

across the country, and setting

these new requirements for

cleaner stoves into the future

will result in substantial

reductions in exposure and

improved public health.
