What the lookup returns
Every ingredient has a base FDA record. Deeper fields thin from there.
All 4,508 ingredients in the registry carry a name, FDA status, and category. Coverage narrows from there: not every ingredient has an assigned CAS registry number, an EU regulatory status, or a published EFSA Acceptable Daily Intake for the calculator tool above to surface.
- Assigned CAS registry number 86.6% 3,906
The unique chemical-registry identifier used to cross-check an ingredient across sources.
- EU regulatory status on file 15.1% 679
Whether the additive has a recorded EU status (E-number regulation), separate from its FDA status.
- EFSA Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) 1% 44
A published EFSA safe-consumption threshold, exactly what the Daily Intake Reference tool below surfaces.
