The 40g/kg limit provides a clear regulatory safeguard to prevent overuse of stabilizers and emulsifiers. This approach:

1. Aligns with the FSSAI’s precautionary principle of balancing safety and functionality.
2. Encourages manufacturers to use additives responsibly within a safe and controlled range.
3. Serves as a benchmark when seeking approval for new emulsifiers and stabilizers, ensuring transparency and consistency in the industry.
