Calcium peroxide (E930): What the Sources Found

Calcium peroxide is the additive the food industry lists as E930. In our table it is no risk identified: it takes no points off a product's score for a child.

In short

No risk identified. No regulator finding we score, so a product keeps all 33 additive points.
No child flag. Nothing below is written about children specifically, so the class is the same at every age.

What Calcium peroxide does to a score

A packaged food starts with 33 points for what is in its ingredient list. Calcium peroxide takes no points off a product's score. Scan the pack in Sito and the score you get is the one for your own child's age, with this additive named in the reasons. How we score has the whole method.

What the sources found

Every classification in our table comes from the citations below, and nothing else. They are quoted as the source wrote them.

FDA Substances Added to Food inventory — calcium peroxide (hfpappexternal.fda.gov/scripts/fdcc/index.cfm?set=FoodSubstances&id=CALCIUMPEROXIDE)
Listed for US food use as a dough conditioner / flour bleaching and maturing agent.
Law Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, consolidated text 02008R1333 — EN — 16.12.2024 — 059.001 (EUR-Lex), Annex II Part B 'List of all additives' and Annex III
Checked against the consolidated primary text: 'E 930' occurs nowhere in the Union list — neither in Annex II Part B (the enumeration of all authorised additives) nor in Annex III. Under Article 4 the Union list is a positive list, so calcium peroxide has no authorised food use in the EU. Absence from the list is non-authorisation, not a ban or a withdrawal.

Why this class

Clean current EFSA and FDA status. These rows exist so that an unfamiliar additive is never treated as a bad one: a missing row costs a product nothing, and a clean row says so with citations.

Our confidence in this row's classification is medium. Medium or low does not mean the evidence is weak; it means something about the row is still being pinned down, usually a regulatory status confirmed from one source rather than two.
