The core studies regarding food additive safety in the United States have been unaltered for 40 y, it is now time to review these protocols and prepare new ones, incorporating new technologies, new knowledge, and leaving space for wider, transversal, and undoubted debates within the scientific community and by stakeholders. The EU in its review of food additives until 2020 is taking these premises into account to gather a transversal understanding of both the scientific community and legislators. Although difficult, a unique European law regarding food additives could be the best solution to bring confidence to the legislating bodies as well as safety to the food that is consumed by the more than 500 million people living within the EU. This mission is quite challenging due to the difficulty to obtain concrete, sound, and irrefutable results regarding human exposure to additives when taking into account the different diets, lifestyles, ages, and genetic predispositions of citizens (Bateman and others 2004; Connolly and others 2010;Mepham 2011; Lofstedt 2013).
The future of food additives is of grave importance for mankind; it is related to the well-being of the entire human population. Food additives will definitely change throughout the next decades, either tending to natural extracts that need to be thoroughly studied for interactions or to the synthetic chemical ones that will continue to scare the consumers. Future technologies regarding food additives have been studied and aim to reduce impact on health, manufacture costs, and controversy, having also the minimum effect on the final appearance of food. Nanotechnology, which is already widely used for different purposes is also being applied to food and to packaging, encapsulating the additives, allowing for controlled release, increase in stability, and reduction of impact in the final product. In a near future, it is expected that these nanostructures, present within the food or in the package, detect decay or contamination, and only then start the release of specific antioxidants or antimicrobials (Appendini and Hotchkiss 2002; Duncan 2011; Cushen and others 2012; Coles and Frewer 2013; Sung and others 2013)
The reception of these new technologies will also depend on how research is conducted in these fields and also how governing bodies legislate toward them, leading to their increasing use or eventual demise. These agencies should harmonize legislation and publish unique and easily accessible guidelines that should be applied worldwide. These guidelines should be approved by the scientific community, which can provide important information and input, but also by food companies for economic feasibility. In a future where consumers will be highly aware of the ingredients of their food, legislation that is well prepared, well reviewed, intended to provide minimum risk, and have worldwide applicability, will reduce doubt and, distrust, and hopefully keep the market operating efficiently for a better future.
