	Guar gum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Solutions with different gum concentrations can be used as emulsifiers and stabilizers because they prevent oil droplets from coalescing.
		The largest market for guar gum (EU food additive code E412) is in the food industry, where guar gum is used as a thickener and binder of free water in sauces, salad dressings, ice creams, instant noodles, pet foods, processed meats, bread improvers and beverages to name some.
		Guar gum has very similar properties to locust bean gum, which is extracted from the seeds of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua).

	Harmful Substances in Plastics Victor O. Sheftel Introduction to his book "Indirect Food Additives and Polymers: ...
		EU food legislation as well as FDA requirements underscores that verification of compliance of migration into foodstuffs with the migration limits must be carried out under the most extreme conditions of time and temperature foreseeable in actual use.
		EU Legislation on PM and articles intended to come in contact with foodstuffs presents a strict list system according to which all substances used in the manufacture of a food packaging material will eventually have to appear and is published by the European Union authorities.
		EU legislation prescribes an overall migration limit in food and food simulant media and, in some cases, specific migration limits and maximum permitted quantities of the residual substance in pM and articles.

		FDA has authority to inspect foods and food facilities, both domestic and imported, to ensure that they are manufactured and held under acceptable conditions and are properly labeled.
		Food production interests believe that consumers, thinking that a product is different from conventional foods, may not gain the benefits from foods that have been modified genetically because they are uneasy with the technology and may not try the products.
		The EU counters that these labeling rules and tests are needed to address consumer concerns about biotechnology and are based on the "principle of precaution" that should prevail over authorization of all new foodstuffs.

		The Food Irradiation Coalition is a group of 30+ trade association members and others, who combined their mutual food irradiation interests into a food additive petition for ready-to-eat foods and worked through NFPA to file the petition with the FDA in October 1999.
		Given its unique ability to destroy pathogens in solid foods, food irradiation may be one of the most significant contributions to public health to be made by food science and technology since pasteurization was introduced to assure the safety of milk.
		Because WHO considers access to safe, nutritious and adequate food to be essential health and a basic human right, WHO has been in the forefront of assessing the safety of food irradiation as a prerequiste to its wider spread application in improving and extending the world's food supply.

	BBC NEWS \| Health \| Food labelling 'must be clearer'
		Additives are used for colour, flavour and texture, or to preserve food.
		Giving the nutritional information for foods by 100g is insufficient for consumers; one requires a calculator, pen and paper to ascertain the levels of calories, nutrients, and other ingredients they are actually consuming.
		MSG is one of the most commonly used food additives, but too much of it makes you feel anxious and uneasy or keeps you awake at night in a sweat.

	Food, Diet and Nutrition - European Public Health Alliance
		Ahead of the vote by the Environment, Food Safety and Public health Committee of the European Parliament on a regulation on Food Additives scheduled on the 20-21 March 2006, the British Fluoridation Society calls for a strong stance to allow the addition of fluorides to foods.
		Foods are generally "fortified" with nutrients (vitamins and minerals) to replace some of the nutritional value lost during their processing or storage, or to enhance the nutritional value of food products by adding nutrients that are not normally contained in that food item.
		New legislation on EU measures to control outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) was adopted by the Council of Agriculture Ministers on 29 September.

		Food sampling and interviews were conducted in 480 households (click image for larger view).
		Research is needed on traditional food preparation technologies, such as fermentations and nixtimalization, or chelating additives such as clays or yeasts that may lower mycotoxins in prepared foods.

	MSG-- A dangerous food additive
		The other way food producers give you the rush is by adding chemicals to brighten the color of the food and extend the shelf life.
		It enhances flavor, and, without exception, it is added because the food being prepared for sale to the public is of low quality due to cheap ingredients or due to too long shelf life.
		It is found in virtually all food and, in abundance, in food that is high in protein, including meat, poultry, cheeses, and fish.

		It is used primarily in the food industry as a stabilizer, but has had more varied uses in the past, including viscosity control in inks.
		The gum is produced by the trees in question as a way of resealing the plant's bark in the event of damage -- a process called gummosis.
		As a result some food producers, for instance Snapple, renamed the ingredient "gum acacia" on their labels.
