List of food additives
The numbers below are internationally assigned by the Codex Alimentarius[?] Committee to different food additives for use on labels, to allow each additive to be uniquely identified.
In the European Community, approved food additives are written with a prefix of 'E'. Australia and New Zealand have their own set of approved additives, which are not written with a prefix letter. In the table below, food additives approved for Europe are listed with an E, and those approved for Australia and New Zealand with an A.
