If you have been following discussions on food additives over the past year, then you have likely heard the comparison of 10,000 food additives in the US vs. 400 in the EU. Comparisons are popular but do not necessarily provide context. Nevertheless, these numbers have been a primary talking point in mainstream media, state legislation, congressional hearings, and discussions around the safety of the US food supply. If you have ever wondered where these numbers came from, or if they are even accurate (spoiler alert, they are not), you will not want to miss this webinar to hear about the safety evaluations of food additives and an in depth analysis of the number of food additives in the US compared with the EU.
