Additives (4)

E320 BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole)
Antioxidant Moderate limited evidence

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.

Regulatory status UK Permitted with limits or a warning EU Permitted with limits or a warning US Permitted

Permitted with limits. Its use has declined as makers switch to natural antioxidants like vitamin E.

Assessed against IARC, EFSA. Full entry for E320

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.

Processing level

NOVA group 4: Ultra-processed

Judged on the UK FSA front of pack thresholds for solid foods. A dash means the source has no figure, which is not the same as a low one.

Where this came from

Product data from Open Food Facts, which is crowd sourced and can be incomplete or out of date. Our copy is from 17 August 2026: Open Food Facts is checked every night, and a product is rewritten only when its record there has changed, so an older date means the source has not moved rather than that we stopped looking. Something wrong? Correcting it at the source fixes it here and everywhere else that uses the same data. If the problem is one of our additive assessments, tell us.
