Names and jobs come from the register of additives permitted in Great Britain, which we have not finished transcribing: a code shown without a name is a gap in our coverage, not a finding that it is unapproved. Naming one is not grading it either. Full detail appears only where we have an assessment against a named authority, so all of this describes our coverage rather than these additives. Most are common and low concern.
Ingredients
cod (fish) liver oil (37%), fish body oil (35%), beef gelatin, humectant (glycerol), retinyl palmitate, antioxidants (mixed tocopherols, d-alpha-tocopherol), palm oil, dl-alpha-tocopherol, cholecalciferol
As printed on the pack, in the producer's own order: ingredients are listed by weight, so what comes first is most of what is in it. E numbers link to their assessment where we have one.
