Nitrous oxide

Characteristics

Additive NameNitrous oxide
E No.E 942
TypeIndividual Substance
In plain language

A gas used as a propellant in whipped cream canisters and aerosol food products. It keeps the product sterile and creates that light, airy texture when dispensed. Not a preservative or flavour agent — purely mechanical in function. Generally considered safe at the tiny amounts that end up in food. The main concerns around nitrous oxide relate to recreational misuse, not food use. EFSA has not raised safety concerns for its authorised food applications.

Quantum satis (no max)
may be used in foods for infants and young children and foods mentioned in Part E, point 01.10, of Annex II
