ELC promotes safety and quality

ELC is committed to improving the public’s understanding of the vital contribution food additives make to food safety and choice, and to promoting quality. It believes that just because an additive is safe, it should not automatically be authorised. Rather, it believes that it should only be used if it offers benefits for the consumer or meets a technological need in manufacturing. ELC has full confidence in the EU’s approval process, which ensures that additives are among the most thoroughly tested and tightly regulated constituents of our diet.
