- Food additives to improve a product’s appearance and palatability by modifying its structure, color, or texture;
- Additives in the formulation of food contact materials to modify the properties of these materials (transparency, resistance), indicate the presence of any pathogens, or improve the organoleptic quality and shelf life of food; and
- Ingredients with a nutritional function.
