Three separate readings, kept apart on purpose. This is not a score, and none of it says this product is harmful.

This label lists 2 emulsifiers, 2 sweeteners, 2 thickeners and gelling agents and 1 additive.

E471 Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids
Emulsifier
Low limited evidence

What it is. Fat derived emulsifiers, closely related to ordinary dietary fats.

Why it is used. One of the most used additives in food: bread, margarine, ice cream, cakes and sauces.

What the evidence says. The body handles these much as it handles other fats, and EFSA's re-evaluation raised no safety concern at the levels used. They sit in the same broad emulsifier and gut microbiome research question as the others, which remains unsettled.

Regulatory status UK Permitted EU Permitted US Permitted

Permitted without a numerical limit. The fat source is not always stated, which matters for some diets rather than for safety.

Assessed against EFSA. Full entry for E471

E322 Lecithin
Emulsifier
No real concern strong evidence

What it is. A natural emulsifier, usually from soya or sunflower.

Why it is used. Keeps chocolate smooth and stops ingredients separating.

What the evidence says. Safe and widely used. Only relevant if the source, such as soya, is an allergen for you.

Regulatory status UK Permitted EU Permitted US Permitted

Permitted freely. Source allergen must be declared.

Assessed against EFSA, JECFA. Full entry for E322

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.
