Regulation & Control

Is the use of additives controlled in any way?

Yes. There are EU-wide regulations that list the additives which have been tested and shown to be safe for use in food. These regulations list the foods in which each permitted additive is allowed, and its level of use.

Who decides all this?

Should there not be special regulations for young children?

What about babies and infants?
