Abstract:
Three European directives imply for all member states an evaluation of food additives intakes. This paper describes the French approach, using a step-by-step procedure to evaluate, at a national level, the consumption of 10 food additives or groups of additives (E100, curcumin; E160b, annatto; E200-203, sorbic acid and salts; E210-213, benzoic acid and salts; E220-224, 226-228, sulphites; E249-250, nitrites; E297, fumaric acid; E473-474, sucrose esters and sucroglycerides; E491-492, stearoyl lactates; E952, cyclamic acid). The results are reassuring for the general population, except for sulphites.
