  • (b) not more than

    • (i) 1.4 per cent, singly or in combination, of calcium sulphate or potassium chloride,

    • (ii) 13 parts per million anhydrous sodium ferrocyanide when added as sodium ferrocyanide decahydrate in the production of dendritic crystals of salt,

    • (iii) 10 parts per million of polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate when used in the production of coarse crystal salt,

    • (iv) 15 parts per million of sodium alginate when used in the production of coarse crystal salt, and
