Abstract

Food additives play a significant role in the food industry by enhancing taste, texture, appearance, shelf life, and nutritional value. However, the use of food additives often raises concerns among consumers about their safety and potential health risks. Regulatory bodies, such as the FDA and EFSA, establish safety standards for the use of food additives, ensuring that they undergo rigorous testing before being approved for public consumption. This article explores the role of food additives in food production, the regulatory processes that govern their use, and the public’s perception of their safety. Through a review of scientific literature, regulatory guidelines, and consumer surveys, the article aims to present a balanced view of the benefits and challenges of food additives. It also discusses how ongoing research and consumer education play crucial roles in shaping the future of food additives in the global food industry
