Flour Treatment Agents — Complete E-Number Guide
Flour Treatment Agents are food additives (mainly numbered E920–E930) that improve flour and dough properties. Found in bread, pasta, pizza bases and bakery products. Every additive below links to its full safety, vegan and halal breakdown.
A handful of additives below carry E-numbers outside the E920–E930 band — they're grouped here because they do the same job in food, not because of their number; the EU/UK E-number system groups by main series but reassigns some additives by function.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| E586 | 4-Hexylresorcinol | Safe | Yes | Halal |
