The last revision of the list was annoouced on Aug.25, 2025, when 30 additives were removed.
These additives do not include substances obtained by causing chemical-reactions, excluding decomposition, to elements or compounds using chemical means.
These additives (327 in total as of Aug.25, 2025) are enumerated here in alphabetical order.The number preceding each additive name is the Japanese syllabary-order serial number assigned to that additive in the original list. The NOTE column contains information appended after each additive name in the Japanese list.
