The article listed E122, E123, E124, E125, E131 and E142 as approved in the US. It also listed cyclamate as approved in the US. I've updated the table but there are likely a lot of remaining inaccuracies especially claiming US approval.

Isn't lecithin an emulsifying agent, rather than an antioxidant? -- Malcolm Farmer
What about Olestra? Doesn't it qualify as an additive? -- Emperorbma 05:54, 30 Dec 2003 (UTC)
What about water? Many manufacturers add water in order to provide the most useful expedient of making their products weigh more. The water has no harmful effect on the customer except economically and ergonomically. Water is added generally to meat products where it is held in place by special animal protein products and usually at around 10% to the weight. Just look at the bacon in your supermarket: when it says 87% meat that means 13% unnecessarily added water. I'm thinking of setting up a link to unnecessarily added water. Thoughts, anyone?

I understand that water is not considered as an additive, because additives are defined as "any substance, not commonly regarded or used as food, which is added to, or used in or on, food at any stage ..." As water is a food, I would think, it is not an additive. 202.82.103.23 09:35, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
I think there should be some effort to show which of these are or are not FDA approved... I listed as many color numbers as i could find, which is a start -- Random832 21:03, 2004 Jun 14 (UTC)
The wording of the paragraph at the top is confusing.

As both pages provide the same information as list, it is proposed to use in the E-number page only the text, but remove the tables and show in this list with an E whether the additive is allowed within the EU. Creates less work and avoids confusion between the lists. Knorrepoes ( talk) 13:35, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
