Authorities have released updates to the national standard governing food additive use. The updated requirements may affect permitted uses, maximum levels, and labeling expectations for certain food categories.

What to review

• Formulas & processes: verify additive type, scope and dosage against the latest text.
• Labels: confirm ingredient statements and sensitive disclosures are compliant.
• Supplier evidence: keep CoAs, batch records and traceability documentation.
• Verification plan: prioritize higher-risk items (preservatives, sweeteners, colors) for validation.

Note: the official standard text is authoritative.
