The residual sulphur dioxide content must not exceed 400 milligrams per kilogram; The residue of sulphur dioxide in its decoction must not exceed 150 milligrams per kilogram.

Qian Zhongzhi, chief scientist of the National Pharmacopoeia Commission, said that the formulation of the standard is based on the international organizations and domestic food additive limit regulations, as well as long-term research and monitoring data from the China Food and Drug Testing Institute and other units.
