Regulatory evidence by market
No rule for this ingredient has been imported for any of the 13 markets tracked here.
That describes this inventory, not the law. No imported rule is not evidence that an ingredient is permitted: a rule may exist under another name or identifier, or in a dataset not yet imported here.
Chemical identity and properties

Inosinic Acid
IMP is a purine ribonucleoside 5'-monophosphate having hypoxanthine as the nucleobase. It has a role as a mouse metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a human metabolite. It is an inosine phosphate and a purine ribonucleoside 5'-monophosphate. It is a conjugate acid of an IMP(2-). — ChEBI
