What are the emulsifiers / stabilisers permitted in food?

Updated by SFA
Permitted emulsifiers / stabilisers, which are listed under the Sixth Schedule of the Food Regulations, may be added to food under good manufacturing practice, unless otherwise prohibited by individual food standards under the Food Regulations. "Good manufacturing practice" means that the quantity of the additive added to food shall be limited to the lowest possible level necessary to accomplish its desired effect. Emulsifiers and stabilisers which are listed under Regulations 21(3) and 21(3A) may only be used in the specific food categories and up to the maximum levels specified therein.
