View source for List of food additives (European Union)

'''E numbers''' are number codes for [[food additive]]s that have been assessed for use within the [[European Union]] (the "E" prefix stands for "Europe").<ref>[http://www.eatwell.gov.uk/foodlabels/understandingenumbers/ UK Food Standards Agency]</ref> They are commonly found on [[food]] labels throughout the European Union.<ref>[http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CONSLEG:1995L0002:20060815:EN:PDF European Directive 95/2/EC on food additives other than colours and sweeteners]</ref>{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}} Safety assessment and approval are the responsibility of the [[European Food Safety Authority]].<ref>http://www.faia.org.uk/faq2_4.php</ref> The numbering scheme follows that of the [[List of food additives, Codex Alimentarius|International Numbering System]] (INS) as determined by the [[Codex Alimentarius]] committee<ref name=ncsi>{{cite web

  }}</ref> though only a subset of the INS additives are approved for use in the European Union. E numbers are also encountered on food labelling in other jurisdictions, including the [[Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf|GCC]], [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]] and [[Israel]]. The "E" prefix is omitted in Australia and New Zealand. They are increasingly (though still rarely) found on North American packaging, especially in [[Canada]].

In casual language in the UK and Ireland, "E number" is used as a pejorative term for artificial food additives, and products may promote themselves as "free of E numbers" even though most of the (natural) ingredients contain components that also have an E number (e.g. [[Vitamin C]] ([[E300]]) or [[lycopene]] ([[E160d]]), the colour in tomatoes). To have a diet without any components that have an E number is basically impossible. "Free of E numbers" thus refers mainly to the lack of additives, not to the absence of components with an E number.

== Full list ==

Each additional has its status:
* permitted additionals are labeled with ''N/A'';
* ''forbidden additionals'' were proven to cause diseases beyond any doubt;
* ''unpermitted additionals'' are those for which conclusive test data is not yet available either due to ongoing tests or no testing;
* ''dangerous additionals'' may be dangerous for people with chronic diseases.
