There are around 320 approved additives in the EU – and they all have one purpose, namely improving the properties of food. However, they may only be used if they are approved for the intended purpose. As part of the approval, it must be proven, among other things, that the substance has been checked for being harmless to health, that its use does not deceive consumers and that the substance meets EU-wide, detailed purity requirements.
At Kölln we use additives very specifically – only where they really make sense. Here is a look at our list of ingredients:
- Sunflower lecithin – As an emulsifier, ensures that the chocolate and ChoViva pieces in our products melt perfectly.
- Potassium hydrogen carbonate – Our insider tip for the extra crispy and light texture of the Kölln Oat Pillows.
- Citric acid – Helps to ensure that the butter cookie dough of our mini cookies in Kölln Oat Granola Chocolate & Cookie can be processed optimally.
