Food additives within sugar-based confectionery are numerous. They offer noticeable advantages over natural ingredients alone, such as improved shelf life and improved control on flavour among others. As such sweets could be defined as being potentially high risk of containing banned or high levels of food additives. These not only must be identified and quantified accurately to satisfy food labelling regulations, but also to ensure no banned substances are apparent.
