Beyond the Label: Regulation of Food Additives (NUTRITION 2026 On Demand Collection)
This course is included in the NUTRITION 2026 On Demand Collection.
Food additives are a central yet often misunderstood part of the modern food supply. This session will provide a clear, science-based overview of what food additives are, why they are used, and how they are evaluated for safety. Speakers will compare regulatory approaches in the United States and the European Union, addressing common misconceptions and highlighting key differences in frameworks and decision-making processes. The session will also explore the broader implications of evolving additive regulations for the food supply, industry, and public health.
Originally presented at NUTRITION 2026, ASN's flagship meeting which was held July 25-28 in National Harbor, MD
