Additives permitted in table-top sweeteners

Sweeteners sold to the consumer to sweeten food and drink at the table.

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. The systems draw this group the same way, give or take internal detail. The EU and GB list liquid, powder and tablet forms separately and, because they infer nothing from the parent, each form carries its own permissions; Codex has a single code. Schedule 15 has liquid preparations (11.4.1) and portion-packed tablets, powder or granules (11.4.2), both of which inherit from 11.4.

What each system calls it

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.
