No separate rule in v1

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.
