| Packing: | Hermetically sealed (can) or
vacuum packed (flexible package) |
Composition:
| 1 Moisture: | Maximum 3-7% |
| 2 Salt: | Maximum 0.2% |
| 3 Carbohydrates: | 60%-70% weight = 50%-60% energy |
| 4 Fat: | 18%-23% weight = 33%-43% energy |

6 Regulation III/41.6.9 - Lifeboat propulsion
"Adequate means should be provided to reduce the engine noise so that a shouted
order can be heard,".
7 Regulation III/41.7.6.2.2 - Adequate protection against accidental or premature use
"The adequate protection against accidental or premature use referred to in regulation
41.7.6.2.2 should include special mechanical protection not normally required for off-load
release, in addition to a danger sign. To prevent an accidental release during recovery of
the boat, the mechanical protection (interlock) should only engage once the release
mechanism is properly and completely reset. To prevent a premature on-load release,
on-load operation of the release mechanism should require a deliberate and sustained action
by the operator. Clear operating instructions should be provided with a suitably worded
warning notice."
