E265 Dehydroacetic acid
Absent from Assimilated Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, Annex II, the register of additives permitted in Great Britain. That is a statement about the food additive register and nothing else: several of these are permitted in medicines, where different rules apply, and this catalogue carries some entries that are not food. Our product data is crowd sourced and worldwide, so on something sold here a code from this list usually means an imported line, an out of date entry, or a mistake in the source rather than anything about the contents. It is not a statement that this product is unsafe, and the pack is the authority.
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.
