The implementation of the IFRA 44th Amendment Standard for VANILLIN has been placed on hold due to evidence indicating higher Category limits may be supported.  IFRA is taking appropriate measures to clarify if a revision of Category allowable amounts is warranted.  Do not disregard efforts you may have already achieved.  This is only a temporary suspension until further data is obtained and reviewed.  The Standard for vanillin will not be eliminated but republished at a later date.
