The first edition of the Essential Guide to Food Additives was published in 2000, and its success merited the production of a second edition, which was published in 2003. The book continues to be a valuable reference tool for the food industry into the applications and legal restrictions governing food additives. A general discussion on the use of food additives is provided, with the addition of a section on the new trend in clean labelling, and how additives can be used to best effect to fit consumer demand for clean labels. The General Food Regulations 2004 are included which complement the Food Safety Act of 1990 and further sections within this new edition cover the genetically modified food and feed regulations and information about the food improvement agents package. |
