Hi Yvonne,

welcome to SDF. Did you try Google search ?

Hello Yvonne, welcome to the forums.

The UK Legislation on food additives is taken from the wider EU community legislation. The EU Community legislation on food additives consists of the following Directives:

 Council Directive 89/107/EEC, as amended by Directive 94/34/EC, that provides the framework for the authorisation of food additives;
 European Parliament and Council Directive 94/36/EC that lays down detailed rules on colours;
 European Parliament and Council Directive 94/35/EC, as amended by Directive 96/83/EC, that lays down detailed rules on sweeteners;
 European Parliament and Council Directive 95/2/EC, as amended by Directives 96/85/EC, 98/72/EC and 2001/5/EC, that lays down detailed rules for authorisation of all food additives other than colours and sweeteners.

Copies of the directives can be downloaded in various languages from the web site below:

Can anyone help out with food additive legislation in the United States?
