To ensure consumer health, the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations have established a specialized Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) responsible for establishing globally unified principles and methods for food safety risk assessment of food additives, and conducting food safety risk assessments of food additives at the international level. The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) has established international standards for the use of food additives (non mandatory). As the host country of the Codex Alimentarius Commission on Food Additives, China is in line with international standards and carries out food safety risk assessments for food additives based on the actual production and use of food additives in our country, as well as data on food consumption by residents.

The current National Food Safety Standard for the Use of Food Additives (GB 2760-2014) specifies the principles for the use of food additives, the types of food additives allowed to be used, the scope of use, and the maximum amount of use or residue.
