Although the US is one of the few countries to have a formal system for monitoring adverse reactions from food additives as part of its regulatory structure, other countries also periodically review additives. In addition, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO) also monitors food additives. Since 1956, the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives has developed specifications for the purity of additives, evaluated toxicological data, and recommended safe levels of use.

The risk to health from chemicals in food can be assessed by comparing estimates of dietary exposure with recommended safe levels of exposure. For most metals and other elements, these are the Provisional Tolerable Weekly Intakes (PTWIs) and the Provisional Tolerable Daily Intakes (PTDIs) recommended by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives of the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations and the World Health Organisation International Programme on Chemical Safety (JECFA). The European Commission s Scientific Committee on Food has established other relevant safe levels. These are Acceptable Daily Intakes (ADIs) for chemicals added to food, and Tolerable Daily Intakes (TDIs) for chemical contaminants. The use of the term tolerable implies permissibility rather than acceptability. All the above recommendations are estimates of the amount of substance that can be ingested over a lifetime without appreciable risk, expressed on a daily or weekly basis as appropriate. 

More generally, 185 distinct countries have been observed since the beginning of this experiment. It is worth noting that there are 191 countries members of the United Nations and 192 countries are recognized by the United States State Department.
