Abstract
In this food chemistry research, we researched on food additive regulations based on the US& UK,then discussed the controversial topic of whether synthetic(artificial) foods & food additives are better or worse than those that are of natural sources. The purpose of this research is to educate ourselves and other people regarding that matter and to eventually reduce the number of food-chemophobic people as food industries use those ingredients to benefit consumers in economic, sensory, or nutritional perspectives. No synthetic food will have the same organoleptic properties as the real food; however nutritional values can be mimicked or even better due to the controllable quality and increased stability.
