Abstract(s)

Introduction: The increase of processed products in children s diet has been accompanied by an increase in the consumption of food additives, which are associated with the prevalence of overweight and childhood obesity constituting a health threat. Food additives are regulated by European directives requiring each additive to be subjected to toxicity tests in order to establish an Admissible Daily Intake (ADI) and Maximum Permitted Level (MPL) in different foodstuffs and the monitoring of the intake of these additives by member states.
