If compounded with flavors for retail sale as sweetener
Retail-packaged compound sweeteners containing xylitol classify as food preparations in 2106.
If containing ketone impurities from production
Presence of significant ketone functions shifts classification to saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids/derivatives.
