How this service works
Name and function of a common food additive by E-number (E102, E330, E621 and about 90 more); a reference, not a safety rating.
Output
Returns a structured record including the E-number code, the common name of the additive, its functional category (e.g. colorant, preservative, emulsifier), a plain-language summary, a verdict field, a source reference, a disclaimer, a flag indicating whether the match was exact, and an asOf timestamp. Does not provide a safety rating.
Example use cases
Decoding an unfamiliar additive on a label
“I'm reading the ingredients on a snack and it lists E102 — can you tell me what that additive is called and what function it serves?”
Researching a preservative in processed meat
“I want to know more about E250 that's listed in my ham's ingredients — what is it and what role does it play in food?”
Identifying a sweetener by E-number
“My drink says E951 in the ingredients — can you look up what that additive is and what it's used for?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://food-barcode.x402tookit.com/additive-info?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a quick reference lookup for a specific food additive by E-number — to identify its name and function as listed on food packaging. It is a reference tool, not a safety classifier, so prefer it when the goal is informational identification rather than dietary suitability or allergen checking (use sibling endpoints for those).
Side effects
- Unknown or unsupported E-number returns a null or degraded result with exactMatch: false
- Missing 'code' query parameter results in a validation error
- Malformed E-number format (e.g. letters only, no digits) may return no match
- Service outage or payment failure (x402 protocol) may prevent response
