No separate rule in v1

Our v1 rating has no separate rule for this additive. If it appears in an ingredient list, it is recognised as a known ingredient and it does not change the score or the verdict.

What we know and what we do not

We know the E-number, the function class and the names above.

We have not recorded its EU authorisation conditions, EFSA opinions or age limits, apart from the v1 rules on this page. That does not mean there are none; it means this reference has not confirmed them. For official information see the EFSA page on food additives.
