Official name structure and source evidence

This section separates facts supplied by external records from structure derived only from the exact official label wording.

Structured interpretation of the official EU INCI label

Matchedlabel-analysis-v1 · EU 2025/1175

The official label identifies a biological source material and its stated preparation or plant part.

Identity type inferred from wording

Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name CELLULASE.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.
