The limitation should be followed with due importance to factor. The SCF has introduced some guidelines of some test that must be carried out on food additives in order to their safety. It requires numbers of animals and other testes to access every conceivable risk to the consumer:

 • Study for understanding how the body absorbs, metabolizes, and eliminates the substance.

 • Study for potential of gene and chromosome damages.

 • Life time studies and potential of fertility and birth defects.

 • Study of causing cancer.

Every additive is safe if it takes in small amount, but if it take in high amount, they have their some causes [58–61]. The aim of doing test on animal with additives is to find their effects. The tests have been done both low and high doses. As observing that low doses are safe for health but some additives are harmful if it takes in high doses. Therefore, we should check the information about the additives that are labeled on packed food before consuming them. We should try to eat more organic food rather than eating processed food.
