Abstract
Three European directives imply for all member states an evaluation of food additives intakes. This paper describes the French approach, using a step‐by‐step procedure to evaluate, at a national level, the consumption of 10 food additives or groups of additives (E100, curcumin; E160b, annatto; E200–203, sorbic acid and salts; E210–213, benzoic acid and salts; E220–224, 226–228, sulphites; E249–250, nitrites; E297, fumaric acid; E473–474, sucrose esters and sucroglycerides; E491–492, stearoyl lactates; E952, cyclamic acid). The results are reassuring for the general population, except for sulphites.Keywords
