Food Additives<\/a> are substances the intended use of which results or may be expected to result, directly or indirectly, in its becoming a component of any food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direct Food Additives are any substances that are intentionally added to food to enhance or preserve its taste, texture, nutrition or appearance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FDA registration<\/a> is required for all domestic and foreign facilities that manufacturer, pack, label and store food additives. In addition all foreign facilities must also designate a US Agent<\/a> for the purpose of FDA registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All food additives are deemed unsafe and are subject to\npremarket approval by FDA unless the substance is GRAS (Generally Recognized As\nSafe).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the responsibility of the food manufacturers to make sure that all ingredients in his products are approved and are used within the permissible limits of law. The regulatory status of a food is affected by the regulatory status of each food ingredient. The authorization is determined by the identity, properties and limitations of use. The regulatory status may be checked at the FDA website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food additives can be of various kinds such as; pH Control Agents, Anti-caking Agents, Emulsifiers, Humectants, Stabilizers, Thickeners and Gelling Agents, Leavening Agents etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To market a new food additive or before using an additive\nalready approved for one use in another manner that is not yet approved, a\nmanufacturer or other sponsor must either submit a Food Additive Petition or\nsubmit GRAS notification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Food Additive Petition is either approved or denied by FDA. If an additive is approved, FDA issues regulations that may include the types of foods in which it can be used, the maximum amounts that can be used, and how it should be appear on food labels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, a manufacturer may choose to go with GRAS notification. Under GRASN, a company notifies FDA that a particular use of a substance has been determined to be GRAS and provide the same type and quality of data to the agency as in the FAP process. FDA reviews the notification data but there is neither approval not denial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
