Additives permitted in nuts, seeds and nut butters

Processed and coated nuts, nut mixtures, and spreads made from nuts or seeds such as peanut butter.

This comparison is a starting point, not an equivalence. The four systems here do not share a vocabulary, so the categories shown for each are this site's reading of where a food in this group falls. At least one system has no category for this group, or files it somewhere much broader. Schedule 15 has no class for processed nuts or for nut butters. Nuts and seeds are named only in the title of class 4, 'Fruits and vegetables (including fungi, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices)', and the single nut-specific class is 4.1.2.2 for surface-treated walnut and pecan kernels — so the Australian and New Zealand column here is a whole root class and reads far wider than the group. Codex's 04.2.2.5 likewise carries vegetable and seaweed purees alongside peanut butter.

What each system calls it

EU food categories
4.2.5.4 nut butters and nut spreads, 15.2 Processed nuts — 274 additives
Great Britain food categories
4.2.5.4 Nut butters and nut spreads, 15.2 Processed nuts — 279 additives
Codex food categories
04.2.2.5 Vegetable (including mushrooms and fungi, roots and tubers, pulses and legumes, and aloe vera), seaweed, and nut and seed purees and spreads (e.g. peanut butter), 15.2 Processed nuts, including coated nuts and nut mixtures (with e.g. dried fruit) — 108 additives
Australia and New Zealand food categories
4 Fruits and vegetables (including fungi, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices), 4.1.2.2 Walnut and pecan nut kernels — 10 additives

Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United States are not here. Canada writes its permissions against foods named in prose, Japan's and South Korea's standards of use name foods in their own language rather than by a category code, and the US permits most substances for use in food generally rather than by category. Their pages carry what this site holds.

Where they differ

A difference is not a disagreement about safety. A regulator may permit a substance in a neighbouring category, regulate it under another instrument, or simply never have been asked. Open an additive to see what each regulator actually says.

Where the ceilings differ

Permitting a substance and permitting the same amount of it are different questions. These are the additives in this group whose most permissive figure differs by a factor of four or more between systems. The category each figure comes from is shown, because a group maps to several categories in each system and the most permissive figure often belongs to one narrow food inside it. See how much is permitted.
