On this page: EU Law - description of the legislation controlling additives in the EU with links to EU documents UK Law - links to the UK legislation implementing the EU law Development of New EU Controls - detailed background information relating to the new Regulations adopted in November 2008 and subsequent developments For a listing of E-numbers (now on a separate page), see: EU Food Additives: Listing by E Number For information relating to the previous controls (described as Stage 2 below), see: Food Additives: Archive Material Summary The adoption of a single harmonised list of food additives for the European Union has taken a long time. It can be split into 3 separate stages: Stage 1: Early EU legislation on food additives focussed on the need to create single lists for each functional group of additives. The first directive to be agreed was for colours (1962) and used the E-number classification system for the first time. This was followed by directives for preservatives (1964), antioxidants (1970) and emulsifiers, stabilisers, thickeners and gelling agents (1974). Adoption of these was slow and the resulting directives only specified the list of permitted substances. Member States were still free to specify which foods could contain the substances and the maximum permitted levels. Stage 2: As part of the moves to create the Internal Market, the Community agreed that the control of food additives should be fully harmonised throughout the Community. The earlier attempts (Stage 1) had only been partially successful and for the purposes of the Internal Market, full agreement was needed. This was achieved during the period and was based on a framework contained in Directive 89/107 with the more detailed controls contained in separate directives - 3 specific directives covering (1) colours, (2) sweeteners and (3) all remaining additives, and supporting directives containing purity criteria. This was much more successful but retained a lengthy decision-making process and, by using directives, required national implemention. Stage 3: In 2008, a new broader framework was agreed based on a Regulation which also incorporates flavourings and enzymes. Specific controls for additives were applied by the new Regulation 1333/2008. This entered into force on 20 January During a transitional period, the detailed technical provisions of the supporting directives remained in force. However in November 2011 the detailed provisions designed to replace the requirements of the directives were published in Regulation 1129/2011, which introduced substantial amendments to Regulation 1333/2008, and these entered into force on 1 June Updated purity criteria were published in Regulation 231/2012. Note that for EU legislative purposes, food flavourings are not considered as food additives and are covered by separate legislation (not described on this page). The developments have been complex. The elements of Stage 2 and the transition to Stage 3 can be summarised in the following diagram:

The Directorate Geneneral has published a short descriptive document giving 'Administrative Guidance for the request of authorisation of a food additive'. This can be found at: Administrative Guidance. Scientific risk assessment is now the responsibility of the European Food Safety Authority and, in particular, their Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources Added to Food (ANS). There is a separate, but related, Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Flavourings and Processing Aids (CEF).
