Food Additive Database | Search Additives by Risk Score
A database for looking up food additives listed on package labels — their purpose, an indication of possible risk, and countries where use is restricted. Each additive carries a risk score from 0 to 30, grouped into five bands from S to D. Scan a barcode to check every additive in a product at once.

The risk score is this site's own 0–30 indicator, derived from each additive's purpose, classification and restrictions in various countries. It is not a medical safety assessment.
