The product is obtained from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni. The leaves are extracted with hot water and the aqueous extract is passed through an adsorption resin to trap and concentrate the component steviol glycosides. The resin is washed with a solvent alcohol to release the glycosides and the product is recrystallized from methanol or aqueous ethanol. Ion exchange resins may be used in the purification process. The final product may be spray-dried.
Chemical name See Appendix 1
Chemical formula See Appendix 1
Formula weight See Appendix 1
Assay/purity Not less than 95% of total of steviol glycosides, on the dried basis, determined as the sum of all compounds containing a steviol backbone conjugated to any number, combination or orientation of saccharides (glucose, rhamnose, fructose,  deoxyglucose,   xylose, galactose, arabinose and xylose) occurring in the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni.

Note: In high value low volume (less than 100 g) and large retail pack (pack more than 1 kg) sizes, the sample plan may be modified (e.g. absence of Salmonella in 10g or 5g in the case of former or n number of samples to be taken from different sites of one large pack) accordingly on case to case basis with the prior approval of Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).

Definition

Definition related to Nutraceutical Products are the same as provided in Food Safety and Standards (Health Supplements, Nutraceuticals, Food for Special Dietary Use, Food for Special Medical Purpose, Functional Food and Novel Food) Regulations, 2016.

Stage where the Microbiological Standards shall apply:

The microbiological standards with respect to the products categories specified in Table-10A (Process Hygiene Criteria) indicate the acceptable functioning of the production process. These are not to be used as requirements for releasing the products in the market. These are indicative values above which corrective actions are required in order to maintain the hygiene of the process in compliance with food law. These shall be applicable at the end of the manufacturing process. The Microbiological Standards in Table-10B (Food Safety Criteria) define the acceptability of a batch or lot and shall be met in respect of the products at the end of the manufacturing process and the products in the market during their shelf- life.

Action in case of unsatisfactory result:

In case of non-compliance in respect of process hygiene criteria specified in Table- 10A, the Food Business Operator (FBO) shall-

(i) check and improve process hygiene by implementation of guidelines in Schedule 4 of Food Safety and Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Businesses) Regulations, 2011; and

(ii) ensure that all food safety criteria as specified in Table -10B (Food Safety Criteria) are complied with.

Sampling Plan and Guidelines

For Regulator: The sampling for different microbiological standards specified in Table-10A and 10B shall be ensured aseptically at manufacturing units and/or at retail points, as applicable, by a trained person with specialised knowledge in the field of microbiology following guidelines in the Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) Regulations, 2011 and ISO: 17728:2015 (confirmed in 2019). The samples shall be stored and transported in frozen condition at -18°C (±2°C) or under refrigerated conditions at 2-5°C as applicable except for the products that are recommended to be stored at room temperature by the manufacturer to enable initiation of analysis within 24 hours of sampling. Preservatives shall not be added to sample units intended for microbiological examination. The desired number of sample units as per sampling plan given in Table-10A and 10B shall be taken from same batch or lot and shall be submitted to the notified laboratories. Three sets, each containing ‘n’ number of samples (n as defined in the sampling plan e.g. if n=5, then total no. of samples to be drawn is 15) shall be drawn. Each of these three sets shall be tested in three different accredited laboratories. The final decision shall be based on the results of three accredited laboratories. In the case of Food Safety Criteria (Table 10B), the results from all the three laboratories should indicate compliance with the specified criteria. There will be no provision for retesting or resampling for microbiological testing. The testing in laboratory shall be ensured as per the methods given in the table “reference test methods”.

For FBO: Food Business Operator (FBO) shall perform testing as appropriate as per the microbiological standards in Table-10A & 10B to ensure verification of compliance with the microbiological requirements. FBO shall decide themselves subject to minimum prescribed under Food Safety and Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Businesses) Regulations, 2011, the necessary sampling and testing frequencies to ensure compliance with the specified microbiological requirements. FBO may use analytical methods other than those described in “reference test methods” given below for in-house testing only. However, these methods shall not be applicable for regulatory compliance purpose.

Sampling Plan:

The terms n, c, m and M used in this standard have the following meaning:

n = Number of units comprising a sample.

c = Maximum allowable number of units having microbiological counts above m for 2- class sampling plan and between m and M for 3- class sampling plan.

m = Microbiological limit that separates unsatisfactory from satisfactory in a 2- class sampling plan or acceptable from satisfactory in a 3-class sampling plan.

M = Microbiological limit that separates unsatisfactory from satisfactory in a 3-class sampling plan.

Interpretation of Results:

2-Class Sampling Plan (where n, c and m are specified)

3-Class Sampling Plan (where n, c, m and M are specified)
1. Satisfactory, if all the values observed are < m

2. Unsatisfactory, if one or more of the values observed are >m

1. Satisfactory, if all the values observed are < m

2. Acceptable, if a maximum of c values are between m and M.

3. Unsatisfactory, if one or more of the values observed are > M or more than prescribed c values are >m

Reference Test Methods: The following test methods shall be applied as reference methods. Test methods prescribed in FSSAI Manual of Methods of Analysis of Foods (Microbiological Testing) may also be referred along with the IS/ISO methods specified for Process Hygiene Criteria and Food Safety Criteria. Latest version of test methods shall apply. In case where an ISO method adopted by the BIS is specified (e.g IS XXXX / ISO YYYY), latest version of the ISO method (or its BIS equivalent, if available) shall apply.
