European Union (EU) legislation requires most additives used in foods to be labelled clearly in the list of ingredients, either by name or by an E number. This allows you to avoid foods containing specific additives if you wish. Giving an additive an E number means that it has passed safety tests and has been approved for use here and in the rest of the EU.
