Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name AMMONIUM ACETATE.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

Ammonium Acetate

Ammonium acetate is an ammonium salt obtained by reaction of ammonia with acetic acid. A deliquescent white crystalline solid, it has a relatively low melting point (114C) for a salt. Used as a food acidity regulator, although no longer approved for this purpose in the EU. It has a role as a buffer and a food acidity regulator. It is an ammonium salt and an acetate salt. — ChEBI
