Does an official comprehensive list of the E-numbers exists?

I'm thinking of something along what the Wikipedia page provides:

  • Number
  • Role
  • Name
  • Description
  • Approval
  • Notes

An example of an entry could be:

  • E110
  • Colour
  • Sunset Yellow FCF
  • Used to grand a yellow-orange colour
  • Approved in the European Union, approved in the United States of America, banned in Norway
  • Products in the European Union require warnings and its use is being phased-out

These informations can be found scattered around the internet, but I've not yet been able to find a single page containing all of them besides the Wikipedia article (not that I've anything against Wikipedia, but I'd like an official source instead of a page anyone can edit and whose accuracy can't be guaranteed), lLooking up the informations through 4/5 documents every time is impractical.

At the moment I've been able to find these official documents:

The E numbers are standardized across all EU nations. I'm not even aware if non EU nations use them?
