Food additives / E-numbers (non EU languages)
Thread poster: Kalou
Mar 4, 2010

I am looking for lists of food additives (E-numbers) in different languages, but not the EU languages (which are already present at www.fooddictionary.eu), such as Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Chinese, Albanian, Hebrew etc...

Any suggestions ?

Wikipedia? Mar 4, 2010

The wikipedia page on E numbers - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_number - is available in several other languages, including Russian and Arabic.

I'm not sure how authoritative the translations are, of course, but it might be some help, at least.

INS Numbers Mar 4, 2010

In Brazil, the food manufacturers use INS numbers, which are exactly the same as E-numbers. So E-102 (tartrazine) is INS-102, E-621 (monosodium glutamate) is INS-621, and so on.

E numbers are codes for substances that permitted to be used as food additive Jun 20, 2020

E numbers are codes for substances that are permitted to be used as food additives for use within the European Union.
The "E" stands for Europe,commonly found on food labes,such as E418 gellan gum which is made from fermentation with a natural culture.

Does anyone know if the UK will still use E-numbers after Brexit? Or would they use UK numbers of something along those lines?
