What it is

Ethoxyquin is a synthetic antioxidant used to prevent spoilage in food. It is chemically synthesized and not naturally occurring.

Why it's used

Ethoxyquin is added to animal feed, particularly for fish and poultry, to prevent fats and vitamins from degrading. It helps maintain the quality and shelf life of feed ingredients, which indirectly affects the quality of the food products derived from these animals.

Health notes

In the US, ethoxyquin is approved for use as an antioxidant in animal feed under specific conditions. The FDA has reviewed its safety for this purpose. International bodies like EFSA have also evaluated ethoxyquin. While generally considered safe at approved levels in animal feed, some studies have raised questions about its potential health effects, though evidence is mixed and ongoing.
