Synthetic substances are prohibited, unless they are explicitly allowed.
对作物和牲畜生产、加工处理和贮藏所使用的添加物、添加剂、药品以及各种成分都由“ 国家允许生产资料与禁止物清单”指定。“国家清单”背后所体现的基本原则是：
可使用非合成物，除非被禁止。
不可使用合成物，除非明确规定其可使用。
(8) Special attention has to be drawn to the fact that all inert ingredients have to be qualified as “Inerts of minimal concern” according to the list no.4 of the US-Environmental Protection Agency (see the list under: http://www.epa.gov/opprd001/inerts/inerts_list4.pdf). 根据美国环保局所列表单中的第4条，对惰性成份成为合格的“微量惰性”须多加关注。
