About Additives
Food additives are substances added to food to maintain or improve its safety, freshness, taste, texture, or appearance. They are often identified by E-numbers in many countries, particularly in the European Union. These numbers are a way of standardizing additive names across different languages.
While many additives are considered safe, some may pose health risks for certain individuals. It's always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns about specific additives in your diet.
