E-Number
E-Numbers are codes used in the European Union to identify food additives. These additives can serve various purposes, such as preserving freshness, enhancing flavor, or improving appearance. Each E-Number corresponds to a specific substance, making it easier for consumers to understand what is in their food.
E-Numbers are regulated by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to ensure safety and proper labeling. While some people may have concerns about additives, many E-Numbers are derived from natural sources, such as fruits or vegetables. Understanding E-Numbers can help consumers make informed choices about their food.
