Abstract
In China, the development of food additives remains a critical challenge in food additives security research. We discuss an integrated approach that can improve China’s food additives security, including technical management, standards implementation, and punitive damages regime. Through this integration, we identify that technical management, standards implementation, and punitive damages regime are each complementary to each other. Technical management helps reduce the inherent risks of food additives beforehand. Standards implementation helps prevent and control risks of food additives use halfway. Punitive damages regime helps relieve secondary risks arising from food additives use. Crucially, this integration enhances the suitability of food additives security. Our work provides a generalizable strategy for identifying and controlling risks inherent in food additives, risks from their use and their secondary risks, offering new insights into adaptive strategy for food additives security.
