=head1 DESCRIPTION
E numbers are number codes for food additives that have been assessed for use within the
European Union (the "E" prefix stands for "Europe"). They are commonly found on food labels
throughout the European Union. Safety assessment and approval are the responsibility of the
European Food Safety Authority.
The numbering scheme follows that of the International Numbering System (INS) as determined
by the Codex Alimentarius committee though only a subset of the INS additives are approved
for use in the European Union. E numbers are also encountered on food labelling in other
jurisdictions, including the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, Australia,
New Zealand and Israel. The "E" prefix is omitted in Australia and New Zealand. They are
increasingly, though rarely found on North American packaging especially in Canada on imported
European products.
