Additives are indispensible to the food industry. They are added to food in small quantities to perform a necessary technological function. All additives are safety assessed and approved before they can be used. Once approved, additives are given an identification number, an E-number (“E” is for “Europe”). In accordance with the legislation, they are then listed in the ingredients on the label to ensure the consumer is well-informed.
