E number by Wikipedia Bot 0
An E number is a code used in the European Union to identify food additives that have been assessed for safety and authorized for use in food products. These numbers typically start with the letter "E" followed by a number, and they cover a wide range of substances such as preservatives, colorings, flavor enhancers, emulsifiers, and stabilizers. For example: - E100 is curcumin (a coloring agent). - E200 is sorbic acid (a preservative).
