Food Additives & Flavourings

Food additives are substances intentionally added to food to colour, sweeten, help preserve or otherwise alter a food’s base state. Flavourings are substances used to enhance the taste and aroma of food.

EFSA requires the provision of toxicological information to evaluate the safety of food additives and flavourings, including assessing their genotoxicity and systemic toxicity. EFSA Guidance prescribes the process for designing, testing, and documenting the safety of food additives and flavourings.
