	Food additive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some additives have been used for centuries; for example, preserving food by pickling (with vinegar), salting, as with bacon, or using sulfur dioxide as in some wines.
		Additive 103, alkanet, is not approved for use in Europe so does not have an E number, although it is approved for use in Australia and New Zealand.
		Antioxidants such as vitamin C act as preservatives by inhibiting the effects of oxygen on food, and are generally beneficial to health.

	FDA/CFSAN Food Additives
		All food additives are carefully regulated by federal authorities and various international organizations to ensure that foods are safe to eat and are accurately labeled.
		Color additives are used in foods for many reasons, including to offset color loss due to storage or processing of foods and to correct natural variations in food color.
		The Food Additives Amendment to the FD&C Act, passed in 1958, requires FDA approval for the use of an additive prior to its inclusion in food.

	Sustainable Table: The Issues: Additives
		These substances are used to change the way food tastes (affecting the flavor, texture, consistency, and aroma), to change the way food looks (altering the color and texture), to improve the nutritional quality of foods (adding vitamins and minerals), and to increase the food's shelf life to prevent spoilage.
		Although all additives must be approved by the FDA before being included in foods, there is concern that many additives are unsafe, or have not been adequately tested for safety.
		Indeed, a number of food additives initially approved by the FDA were later proven to be harmful, and had to be banned.

	Food additives and contaminants in food, principles for the safety assessment of (EHC 70, 1987)
		For all intentional food additives proposed for evaluation, Committees request submission of four types of data related to reactivity: (a) the general chemical reactivity of the additive; (b) its stability during storage and reactions in model systems; (c) reactions of the additive in actual food systems; and (d) the additive's fate in living systems.
		Food additives may be marketed as formulated preparations, such as a mixture of a main ingredient with a solvent vehicle and emulsifier.
		Interactions that may occur between food additives and the bacterial flora of the gastrointestinal tract should be con- sidered both in terms of the effects of the gut microflora on the chemical and the effects of the chemical on the gut micro- flora.

		The petition proposed to amend the food additive regulations in part 173 (21 CFR part 173) to provide for the safe use of ozone in gaseous and aqueous phases as an antimicrobial agent for the treatment, storage, and processing of foods.
		Although this use of ozone as an antimicrobial agent on RACs is regulated under section 409 of the act (21 U.S.C. 348) as a food additive, the intended use may nevertheless be subject to regulation as a pesticide under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).

	Cook's Thesaurus: Salt
		Specialized salts include pickling salt, which is free of the additives that turn pickles dark and the pickling liquid cloudy, and rock salt, used primarily to de-ice driveways and make ice cream.
		It's best to use these salts after the food is cooked, or their subtleties will be lost.
		The only drawback to using kosher salt for pickling or canning is that the grains are coarser and flakier, and can't be packed as tightly into a measuring cup as pickling salt.

	Health Canada Rejects Olestra as a Food Additive
		According to a letter sent June 8 by Marc Le Maguer, the Director General of the Food Directorate, "Health Canada has completed its review of Olestra and has decided not to recommend that Olestra be permitted for use as a food additive in Canada."
		While Health Canada is saying "no" to olestra, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), under pressure from Procter and Gamble, is considering dropping the olestra warning notice ("may cause abdominal cramping or loose stools") from packages.
		Many reports describe cases of severe diarrhea, including several Canadians who ate olestra-containing products on visits to the U.S. CSPI urges people who believe they suffered adverse effects as a result of eating olestra to file a report.
