E 210: Benzoesäure

E 210 (Benzoesäure, englisch: benzoic acid) steht in der Unionsliste der Lebensmittelzusatzstoffe. Die Liste führt 32 Lebensmittelkategorien mit einer Zulassung aus 8 Rechtsakten; der jüngste davon gilt seit 29. Oktober 2018.

Diese Seite gibt die Angaben der EU-Liste wieder: wofür ein Stoff zugelassen ist und mit welcher Höchstmenge. Sie enthält keine eigene gesundheitliche Bewertung. Zu Bewertungen einzelner Stoffe informiert die Europäische Behörde für Lebensmittelsicherheit (EFSA).

E 210 hat in der Liste keinen eigenen Eintrag, sondern wird in Sammelzeilen „E 200 - 213“, „E 200 - 219“, „E 210 - 213“ (Sorbic acid – potassium sorbate; Benzoic acid – benzoates; Sorbic acid - potassium sorbate; Benzoic acid - benzoates; p-hydroxybenzoates; Benzoic acid - benzoates (BA)) mitgeführt. Die Verwendungen unten gelten für diese Sammelzeile und damit auch für E 210.
