Food additives have specific purposes
Additives are used in foods for
specific reasons. They may be used to
control mold, prevent separation of
ingredients, enhance flavors or
preserve quality. The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) decides what
additives and how much of each can
be used in foods.
“Two additives that consumers often
have questions about are BHT
(butylated Hydroxytoluene) and
BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole),”
says Susan Gangler Landgren,

Columbia County Extension agent.
“These two chemicals are used to
prevent fats and oils in foods from
turning rancid. Because they help
keep prepared foods fresh for long
periods of time, they are most often
found in convenience foods and
mixes.”
The two additives BHA and BHT
have been used in foods since the
1950’s, according to Margaret Bakke,
Oregon State University Extension
nutrition specialist. The average
American diet contains less than four
parts per million (ppm) of both BHT
and BHA.
The
Foods
and
Agriculture
Organization (FAO) and the World
Health Organization (WHO) agree
that the acceptable daily diet intake
of BHT and BHA, when used
together, should be no more than 23
to 29 ppm.
Although the foods most people
normally eat are not high in BHA and
BHT, an individual could lower BHA
and BHT intake by selecting foods
that do not contain them. When
shopping, read food labels. Any item
that contains BHA or BHT must list
it on the label as an ingredient.
Be aware that many restaurant and
fast food outlets use prepared foods
and these are not labeled when they
are purchased by the customer. Foods
that contain fat or are prepared with
fat are the ones most likely to contain
BHA and BHT.
Also remember that additives are
in foods for a reason. The kinds and
amounts of additives in foods are
controlled
and
therefore,
the
consumer determines the amounts of
additives he or she eats.
