1.1 For the substance E 954, saccharin and its Na, K and Ca salts, maximum usable doses are expressed in free imide.
2.1 Maximum usable doses for the salt of aspartame -acesulfame are derived from the maximum usable doses for its constituent parts, aspartame (E951) and acesulfame -K (E950). The maximum usable doses for both aspartame (E951) and acesulfame -K (E950) are not to be exceeded by use of the salt of aspartame -acesulfame, either alone or in combination with E950 or E951. Limits in this column are expressed either as (a) acesulfame -K equivalent or (b) aspartame equivalents.
