Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If purity drops below 90% with mineral salt fillers
Lower-purity calcium food additives may classify as 'other calcium salts' in Chapter 28.
If when pre-dosed into food premixes for retail
Food preparations containing gluconate become Chapter 21 food supplements.
If contains anti-caking agents beyond note (f) stabilizer limits
Excessive formulation additives make it a chemical preparation, not pure compound.
