E290 Dioxyde de carbone, Anhydride carbonique

Carbon dioxide is produced naturally from carbon dioxide sources or by combustion. It can be added in unlimited amounts to almost all foodstuffs. It is mainly used as a packaging gas to expel air from the packaging, thus protecting the food from spoilage such as oxidation. It also prevents the development of bacteria by creating a slightly acidic environment. Its use does not seem to present any risk.
