Daily Intake Calculator
How much of a food additive can you safely consume in a day? Enter your body weight and select an additive to see your personal ADI based on international safety guidelines.
What is ADI?
The Acceptable Daily Intake is the amount of a food additive that can be consumed daily over a lifetime without appreciable health risk.
How is it set?
JECFA (WHO/FAO) and EFSA determine the No-Observed-Adverse-Effect Level (NOAEL) from animal studies, then apply a 100× safety factor.
Why body weight matters
ADI is expressed per kilogram of body weight per day. A heavier person can consume more of a substance in absolute terms while staying within safe limits.
