（c） It is used or intended for use: （1） In maturing and bleaching of flour in a quantity not more than sufficient for such effect; and （2） as a dough-conditioning agent in bread and roll production at not to exceed the quantity of hydrogen peroxide equivalent necessary for the artificial maturing effect.

（1） The name of the additive, “acetone peroxides”。
（2） The concentration of the additive expressed in hydrogen peroxide equivalents per 100 grams.
