Food Additives

European legislation on additives is moving towards a single procedure for the authorisation and evaluation of additives which takes account of the latest evaluation measures for foodstuffs. The planned Regulation combines the Community lists of authorised products in a single list. Only products on this list will be allowed to be added to human foods. Data is collected for risk assessment, risk management and includes requests for authorisation of food additives or modification of conditions of use and the subsequent publication of lists of authorised additives and conditions of use. Additives: substances that are not normally consumed as food themselves but are added to food intentionally for a technological purpose, such as preservation.欧盟关于添加剂（additives）的立法正逐步建立统一的添加剂授权与评估程序，该程序将充分考量食品领域最新的评估规范。拟议中的监管条例将欧盟原有各授权产品的共同体名录整合为单一统一清单，仅该清单所列产品方可获准添加至人类食品中。 所收集的数据将用于风险评估与风险管理，涵盖食品添加剂的授权申请、使用条件变更申请，以及后续授权添加剂清单与使用条件的发布流程。 食品添加剂（additives）：指本身通常不被作为食品直接食用，却为达成某一工艺目的（如防腐保鲜）而有意添加至食品中的物质。
