食品添加物公定書とは?
What is Japan’s Specifications and Standards for Food Additives (JSFA)?
The Food Sanitation Law requires the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare
to prepare an official compilation of food additive specifications and
standards. The compilation contains compositional specifications for individual
additives as well as standards for manufacturing and use of these additives.
The compilation is updated every several years to introduce new and improved
test methods commensurate with the progress in science and technology,
and to achieve international harmonization of standards. Japan’s Specifications
and Standards for Food Additives is the English translation of the official
compilation of food additives.
The details are discribed by Ministry of Health, labour and Welfare.
