Combined Compendium of Food Additive Specifications: Analytical methods, test procedures and laboratory solutions used by and referenced in food additive specifications

The specifications in this document provide information on the identity and purity of additives used directly in foods or in food production. The three main objectives of these specifications are to identify the additive that has been subjected to testing for safety, to ensure that the additive is of the quality required for use in food or in processing, and to reflect and encourage good manufacturing practice.
