No additive description is available yet.
E250 - Sodium nitrite EFSA overexposure risk: highPreservative
Sodium nitrite (E250) is a salt used for curing and preserving meat products.
It plays a critical role in preventing the growth of Clostridium botulinum, the bacterium responsible for botulism, in cured meats like bacon, ham, and sausages. It also provides the characteristic pink color and flavor.
However, nitrites can react with amines in the stomach to form nitrosamines, which are potent carcinogens. High intake of processed meats containing nitrites is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Regulatory bodies have set strict limits on its use in food.
E282 - calcium propionatePreservative
CALCIUM PROPIONATE has the formula Ca(C2H5COO)2. Calcium propionate is used as a preservative in a wide variety of products, including but not limited to:bread, other baked goods, processed meat, whey, and other dairy products.
E300 - Ascorbic acidAntioxidantSequestrant
No additive description is available yet.
E301 - Sodium ascorbateAntioxidant
SODIUM ASCORBATE is one of a number of mineral salts of ascorbic acid (vitamin C).
E316 - sodium erythorbate EFSA overexposure risk: noAntioxidant
SODIUM ERYTHORBATE is the sodium salt of erythorbic acid. Sodium erythorbate is produced from sugars derived from different sources, such as beets, sugar cane, and corn. It is used predominantly in meats, poultry, and soft drinks.
E331 - Sodium citratesEmulsifierSequestrantStabiliser
DISODIUM CITRATE, more properly, disodium hydrogen citrate, is an acid salt of citric acid with the chemical formula Na2C6H6O7. It is used as an antioxidant in food and to improve the effects of other antioxidants. It is also used as an acidity regulator and sequestrant. Typical products include gelatin, jam, sweets, ice cream, carbonated beverages, milk powder, wine, and processed cheeses.
E407 - Carrageenan EFSA overexposure risk: highCarrierEmulsifierHumectantStabiliserThickener
Carrageenan (E407), derived from red seaweed, is widely employed in the food industry as a gelling, thickening, and stabilizing agent, notably in dairy and meat products.
It can exist in various forms, each imparting distinct textural properties to food.
However, its degraded form, often referred to as poligeenan, has raised health concerns due to its potential inflammatory effects and its classification as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
Nevertheless, food-grade carrageenan has been deemed safe by various regulatory bodies when consumed in amounts typically found in food.
