海外食品添加剂定义

海外食品添加剂定义：

1、食品法典委员会的定义（CAC）：

原文：

Food additive means any substance not normally consumed as a food by itself and not normally used as a typical ingredient of the food, whether or not it has nutritive value, the intentional addition of which to food for a technological (including organoleptic) purpose in the manufacture, processing, preparation, treatment, packing, packaging, transport or holding of such food results, or may be reasonably expected to result (directly or indirectly), in it or its byproducts becoming a component of or otherwise affecting the characteristics of such foods. The term does not include contaminants or substances added to food for maintaining or improving nutritional qualities.

——《CONDEX GENERAL STANDARD FOR FOOD ADDITIVES》译文：

食品添加剂的定义为，其本身通常不作为食品消费，不用作食品中常见的配料物质，无论其是否具有营养价值，在食品中添加该物质的原因是出于生产、加工、制备、处理、包装、装箱、运输或储藏等食品的工艺需求( 包括感官) ，或者期望它或其副产品( 直接或间接地) 成为食品的一个成分，或影响食品的特性。

2、美国的定义：

Food additives includes all substances not exempted by section 201(s) of

the act, the intended use of which results or may reasonably be expected to result, directly or indirectly, either in their becoming a component of food or otherwise affecting the characteristics of food. A material used in the production of containers and packages is subject to the definition if it may

reasonably be expected to become a component, or to affect the characteristics, directly or indirectly, of food packed in the container. “Affecting the characteristics of food” does not include such physical effects, as protecting contents of packages, preserving shape, and preventing moisture loss. If there is no migration of a packaging component from the package to the food, it does not become a component of the food and thus is not a food additive. A substance that does not become a component of food, but that is used, for example, in preparing an ingredient of the food to give a different flavor, texture, or other characteristic in the food, may be a food additive. ——《CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS，PART170—FOOD ADDITIVES》译文：

食品添加剂是指包括所有未被《联邦食品、药品和化妆品法》［4］第201节豁免的，具有明确的或有理由认为合理的预期用途，直接或间接地，或者成为食品的一种成分，或者会影响食品特征的所有物质。用于生产食品容器和包装物的材料如果直接或间接地成为被包装在容器中食品的成分，或影响其特征的所有物质也符合食品添加剂的定义。“影响食品特征”不包括物理影响。如包装物的成分没有迁移到食品中，不成为食品的成分，则不属食品添加剂。但如果某种不会成为食品成分的物质在食品加工中被应用而赋予食品不同风味、组织结构或改变了食品其他特征者，也可能属于食品添加剂。

3、欧盟（European Union）的定义：

‘F ood additive’ shall mean any substance not normally consumed as a food in itself and not normally used as a characteristic ingredient of food, whether or not it has nutritive value, the intentional addition of which to food for a technological purpose in the manufacture, processing, preparation, treatment,
