Allergy & Intolerance

How can I avoid foods and ingredients to which I am allergic?

So are additives a particular problem?

Not for the vast majority of us. There is a great deal of misunderstanding about allergy to food additives. Studies indicate that about one in fifty people in Britain have an allergy to a natural food whilst about one in five thousand are sensitive to additives (ie you are much more likely to be affected by natural foods than by additives).

Are any additives derived from peanuts?
