European Comission. Rules for safer and more transparent use of food additives adopted

The new rules establish two lists to identify authorised additives, one for ingredients and one for foodstuffs, which will be available online. They also determine under which conditions substances can be added to food.

This database is a tool to inform about the substances to be used in materials and articles intended to come into contact with food (Food Contact Materials).
