E-number and Additive Lookup
Know what an E-number is actually approved for before it goes on your ingredient list, not after a retailer flags it.
What it does
Screens E-numbers and food additives against EU Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 Annex II and III positive lists, conditions of use, and maximum permitted levels.
Ask it like this
youWhat food categories is E171 approved for, and where is it restricted?
