[E numbers] are codes for substances that are permitted to be used as [food additives]
for use within the [European Union] and [EFTA]. Commonly found on [food labels],
their safety assessment and approval are the responsibility of the
[European Food Safety Authority].
Having a single unified list for food additives was first agreed upon in 1962 with
[food colouring]. In 1964, the directives for preservatives were added, 1970 for
antioxidants and 1974 for the emulsifiers, stabilisers, thickeners and gelling
agents.
