E570Fatty acids
E570 is fatty acids (acid béo), a food additive printed on labels as E570 or INS 570. This page has no sourced data on what the substance does in food.
Did you know? According to EFSA (2017), the fatty acids used as E570 are usually made by hydrolysis of animal and vegetable fats and oils followed by fractionation of the individual acids. Caprylic and capric acid can come from coconut oil, palmitic acid from palm oil, and oleic acid can be prepared from olive oil.

Questions about fatty acids
Is fatty acids harmful?
In 2017 EFSA concluded that fatty acids (E570) raise no safety concern at the reported uses and use levels. EFSA noted that E570 is absorbed and metabolised like fatty acids from the regular diet, and that E570 contributes on average only about 1% of the total intake of saturated fatty acids from all sources. The assessment was based on data for 8 of the 67 food categories in which E570 is authorised.
