US food additives

Food additives extracted from natural sources or chemically and biologically synthesised will grow at an increasing rate up to 1985, according to the US based market research firm, Frost and Sulivan Inc. In a new report, entitled, Food Additives Market, F & S predict that the value of food will rise from the $ 1.3 billion level in 1976 to $ 2.1 billion by 1985. The study warns that food additives will remain under attack by consumr groups, resulting in more stringent and extensive control, but this is not expected to affect the use of food additives to any great extent.
