How this service works
The checks your agent runs before it acts: verify a bank account, a phone number, a law in force, the weather or a vehicle — computed from official sources, with provenance in every response. You only pay for answers.
Output
When a food_category is provided: a verdict (authorised/not authorised) plus an authorisations array detailing the conditions under which the additive is permitted in that category, with regulatory provenance. When no food_category is provided: an inventory of up to 100 food categories in which the additive is authorised, including category codes, names, and any group-level authorisations — without an overall verdict, since authorisation is always category-specific.
Example use cases
Pre-launch product compliance check
“Before we finalise our new salad dressing recipe, can you verify whether E415 (xanthan gum) is authorised in food category 12.6 under EU regulations as of today?”
Historical regulatory audit
“I need to know if E110 was authorised in category 14.1.4 (flavoured drinks) under EU law as of 2021-01-01 — this is for a compliance audit of products we sold that year.”
Additive category inventory for labelling
“Can you give me a full list of all EU food categories where E202 is authorised, so I can review which of our product lines might be affected by a potential reformulation?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.invoket.com/label/food/additiveWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to verify EU regulatory compliance of a food additive before acting — e.g. before recommending a recipe, approving a product formulation, or generating a compliance report. Prefer this over generic web search when you need authoritative, provenance-backed answers from the official EU Union List, especially when historical date-pinned queries are required.
Side effects
- 400 if both e_number and name are provided, or neither is provided
- 400 if the E number format does not match the template (E + 3-4 digits + optional letter/roman numeral)
- 400 if the food_category code is not in the referential or is provided as empty string
- 400 if the requested date is earlier than the oldest ingested version of the Union List
- 404 if the E number is not found in the EU Union List (not billed)
- Response may be truncated at 100 categories when no food_category is provided
Input
Schema · Request body
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| daterequired | string | Optional date (YYYY-MM-DD, default today): serves the consolidated version in force at that date. Earlier than the oldest ingested version = 400 naming the bound |
| e_numberrequired | string | E number, template E + 3 or 4 digits + optional letter and roman numeral ('E 160a(i)'). Provide exactly ONE key among e_number and name (exact published name); zero or both = 400, off-template = 400 before any lookup. An E number unknown to the Union list = 404, not billed |
| food_categoryrequired | string | Food category code AS PUBLISHED ('08.3.2'; Annex III parts are exposed as 'III.1' to 'III.5'). Optional, but it changes the shape of the answer: WITH it you get a verdict plus authorisations[]; WITHOUT it you get NO verdict field at all and instead data.authorised_in {total, truncated, categories[] (code, name, via_group), capped at 100} - an inventory, never an 'authorised' claim in the abstract, since an additive has no status without a food category. A code outside the referential = 400 not billed; provided empty = 400 |
