Food Additive Regulations in Europe

Mike Saltmarsh

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

The use of all food additives in Europe is controlled by three Regulations: Regulation 178/2002, Regulation 1331/2008 and Regulation 1333/2008. Regulation 178/2002 outlines the general principles of food law in the European Union and establishes the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Regulation 1331/2008 establishes a common authorisation procedure for food additives, food enzymes and food flavourings and Regulation 1333/2008 deals with the conditions of use of food additives, the labelling of additives sold as such and provides the Community list of additives. This chapter provides the requirements of these Regulations and includes the implications of changes in consumer perception of additives in the use of colours and colouring foodstuffs.
