FOOD ADDITIVES AND LABELLING

FOOD ADDITIVES AND LABELLING

Food additives are compounds that are added to food in order to preserve or improve the safety, freshness, taste, texture, or appearance of the food. These food additives can be natural, manufactured, or produced from plants, animals, or minerals. Consumers can get the information they need from product labels to make better eating choices. Nutritional information about pre-packaged foods must be declared on labels. Food labeling contains a lot of information, and it's often tough to figure out what to look for and what it all means. However, if you want to improve your diet and make healthier choices, you need to develop the habit of reading labels.
