The purpose of the meeting was to evaluate the safety of certain food additives and flavourings. The present meeting was the ninety-seventh in a series of similar meetings. The tasks before the Committee were to (a) further elaborate principles governing the evaluation of food additives; (b) undertake safety evaluations of certain food additives; (c) review and prepare specifications for certain food additives; and (d) establish specifications for certain flavouring agents.

    This document contains food additive specification monographs, analytical methods, and other information prepared at the ninety-ninth meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), which was held in Geneva from 11 to 20 June 2024. The specification monographs provide information on the identity and purity of food additives used directly in foods or in food production. The three main objectives of these specifications are to identify the food additive that has been subjected to testing for safety, to ensure that the additives are of the quality required for use in food or in processing and to reflect and encourage good manufacturing practice. This publication and other documents produced by JECFA contain information that is useful to all those who work with or are interested in food additives and their safe use in food.
