List of food additives

Dyes, sweeteners, preservatives ... food additives have invaded our food. Today
there are over 300 permitted additives that you find the main features by consul
ting the list of food additives made by the UFC-Que Choisir.
The information available in this list
- European Code: E followed by a number between 100 and 1518. - Common name. - C
ategory: nomenclature distinguishes 24 categories of additives according to thei
r technological effects on the food: colors, preservatives antioxidants, sweeten
ers, acidulants, acidity, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, gelling agents, stabili
zers, thickeners, powders up, propellants and gas packaging, firming, anti-cakin
g agents, antifoaming agents, fillers, emulsifying salts, coating agents, humect
ants, modified starches, sequestering agents, treatment, flour enzymes. To simpl
ify, some categories were combined:. The term "texture agent" includes gelling a
gents, thickeners, stabilizers and emulsifiers. The acidifying and acidity were
also grouped. - ADI, acceptable daily intake. There are two categories of food a
dditives in this list:. additives with an ADI expressed in mg / kg. Additives AD
I not specified, denoted "ns" in the list. - Use in organic farming: additives u
sed in organic farming (47 in total) are reported. - Use: Indications on the maj
or food groups in which the additives are used. These suggestions are not exhaus
tive. - Risk groups and symptoms: we could find in the scientific literature exa
mples of symptoms observed in humans following consumption of certain additives.
These symptoms are characterized and risk groups, mainly concerned with the app
earance of these symptoms are identified.
Details
(1): additives for which symptoms have been observed in humans following consump
tion of certain additives. (2) additives which toxic effects have been demonstra
ted in general and in animals at high doses during toxicological evaluations and
who have consequently led to the establishment of ADI for the additive concerne
d. (3): additives for which no toxic effect could be demonstrated.
