Food additives regulations

Food additives regulations ensure that any substances added to food—such as preservatives, colorings, or flavorings—are safe for consumption. Authorities like the FDA or EFSA evaluate scientific data to approve or restrict additives, setting maximum allowed levels and labeling requirements. These regulations aim to protect public health by ensuring additives do not pose risks when used within approved limits. Food manufacturers must comply with these rules, providing transparency and safety for consumers. Overall, these standards help maintain food safety, quality, and trust in the products we eat.
