How NOVA works
The NOVA classification assigns food products into 4 groups based on their degree of processing:
1. Unprocessed or minimally processed foods
2. Processed culinary ingredients
3. Processed foods
4. Ultra-processed food and drink products
Additives
E415 - Xanthan gumEmulsifierStabiliserThickener
E415 - Xanthan gumEmulsifierStabiliserThickener
Xanthan gum (E415) is a natural polysaccharide derived from fermented sugars, often used in the food industry as a thickening and stabilizing agent.
This versatile food additive enhances texture and prevents ingredient separation in a wide range of products, including salad dressings, sauces, and gluten-free baked goods.
It is considered safe for consumption even at high intake amounts.
