Food Additives FAQ
Food additives have promoted the progress of the food industry, but have also caused people's concerns about food additives.
1. What are food additives?
Food additive is any substance intentionally added to food for a technological purpose. This may be to improve shelf life, maintaining its nutritional qualities and sensorial attributes (taste, texture, appearance). Food additives are not normally consumed as a food by itself.
2. Why are food additives added to foods?
Food additives are used during food processing for various technological purposes like preservation, stabilizing an emulsion, adding color, flavor, etc.
3. Can additives be used in all foodstuffs?
In some foodstuffs the use of additives is very limited. For unprocessed foodstuffs such as milk, fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh meat and water only a few additives are authorised.The more a foodstuff is processed, the more additives are authorised and used. Confectionary, savoury snacks, flavoured beverages and desserts are some products falling under this category of highly processed foodstuffs, where a lot of additives are authorised for use.
4. How is the safety of food additives evaluated?
EFSA assesses the safety of the food additives. The substances are evaluated based on a dossier, usually provided by an applicant (normally the producer or a potential user of the food additive). This dossier must contain the chemical identifications of the additive, its manufacturing process, methods of analyses and reaction and fate in food, the case of need, the proposed uses and toxicological data.
5. How do I know what ingredients are in my food?
Under the title “ Ingredients” all ingredients in the food are declared and listed by their descending weight on the product label.
6. Is it possible to prepare food without additives?
It is indeed possible to prepare food without the use of any additives. Additives are normally not added to food prepared at home. However at home, food is usually consumed directly. In addition home preparation may also have less influence on the appearance compared to industrially processed food.
