(7) The following harmless optional ingredients or combination of such ingredients may be added to control viscosity, adjust protein stability and adjust pH of the combined mix ingredients:
(a) Sodium bicarbonate;
(b) Magnesium oxide as such or as carbonate or hydroxide;

(e) Sodium phosphates. The total ingredients (a) through (c) shall not exceed one-tenth of one percent by weight of the finished mix; nor shall the weight of ingredients (d) and (e) exceed two-tenths of one percent by weight of the finished mix.
