Hi MDG
There are regulations on the use of Ethylene oxide as an additive in food, in some cases emergency derogation can be given for the use.
There are also controls on the use and residual levels of food additives manufactured using Ethylene oxide.
If you are exporting you would need to check the specific legislation in the target markets.
