Why Food Additives? |
| What are food additives & why are they used? Are they used in all processed foods? Why do we need so many food additives? For how long have food additives been used? Aren't additives used to cover up poor processing of food? No. Food which has been processed under poor hygiene conditions can never be made safe by adding additives. Enforcement of food law in this country is tight and weeds out the unscrupulous operator, just as regulations about additives and the levels at which they can be used are controlled by EC Directives. |
