- wheat gluten [1] and soya proteins [2] that are defined by CODEX,
- precision fermentation proteins (e.g specific proteins intentionally obtained from recombinant DNA technology) and proteins of animal origin, irrespective of the production method employed. Example : casein produced from non-animal sources, such as plants, falls outside the scope of this standard,
- raw materials (source materials) used to produce these proteins, as well as the compound foods that use these protein products as ingredients,
- labelling and/or claims for foods sold to consumers.
