E320
BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole)
Antioxidant
What it is. A synthetic antioxidant that stops fats and oils going rancid.
Why it is used. Used in some fatty foods, snacks and chewing gum.
What the evidence says. IARC lists it as possibly carcinogenic based mainly on high dose animal studies. Human relevance at food levels is uncertain, and it is used in small amounts, but it is one to watch rather than dismiss.
Permitted with limits. Its use has declined as makers switch to natural antioxidants like vitamin E.
Assessed against IARC, EFSA. Full entry for E320
Also on the label, not assessed here yet
- E321 Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) antioxidant
- E500 Sodium carbonates raising agent
- E503 Ammonium carbonates raising agent
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.
