9 April 2012, The Ministry of Health(MoH) of China has published a notice to remove 38 food additives(for example, 4-phenylphenol, metatartaric acid) from the list of approved food additives in China. The 38 additives are not regarded as technically necessary after the review of MoH.

This list is available.

In China, food additives are allowed to be used in China only if they are:

covered by national food safety standards GB 2760()& GB 14880();
within the list of allowable food additives announced by the Ministry of Health (MOH); and
within the scope of allowed applications and dosage levels;

Any additive that does not meet all three criteria above will be regarded as new food additive and requires registration and further risk assessment. More info can be foundhere.
