INS Code Database

INS (International Numbering System) codes are the Codex Alimentarius standard for food additives, used on labels in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, India, and GCC countries. Each INS number identifies the same additive as the EU E-number — INS 471 = E471.

What are INS numbers? The International Numbering System is the global standard defined by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (FAO/WHO). It assigns a unique number to every approved food additive. In Australia and NZ (FSANZ), Malaysia (JAKIM/MOH), Singapore (SFA), Indonesia (BPOM), India (FSSAI), Saudi Arabia (SFDA), and UAE (ESMA), food labels use INS numbers instead of E-numbers. The halal status is identical regardless of which label system is used.
