Like all food ingredients, they are classified according to their function in foodstuffs. Official bodies determine the amount of additives that are allowed to be used in foodstuffs and ensure that the additives added to food do not pose a health risk to humans.

The additives may also be added for the packaging and transport of food. Some sweetening additives are used for consumers with certain dietary needs, while others are used with religious and ethnic restrictions or in accordance with local and cultural requirements.
