Do I need to declare the technological functions of the food additives used in my food product? <br>(e.g. "chemical preservatives" / "antioxidants")

Updated by SFA
It is not a requirement to declare the technological functions/functional class of the food additives under the statement of ingredients. The food additives used in the product may be declared either by their exact chemical names, INS/E number or permitted generic terms, such as "flavouring", "stabiliser" and "emulsifier". The list of permitted generic terms for use in the declaration of ingredients are stipulated under the First Schedule of the Food Regulations.
