Clarification of Correspondence Between Designated Additive Names and Individual Specification Names

Food Additives

December 23, 2025

Since there are several cases where the names of food additives designated under the Food Sanitation Act differ from the names used in the "Specifications and Standards for Foods, Additives, etc." under the Act, a correspondence table for the non-matching names has been created and published by the Consumer Affairs Agency (CAA).

* The above is summarized and translated by the Foundation from the Japanese original document issued by the CAA.
**For details, please refer to the original document in Japanese.
