Food Additives In Our Everyday Food

Food additives are in a lot of the food we eat. Some additives are artificial chemical additives, while others are natural ingredients like salt and vinegar. Some additives are used as preservatives, others are used as coloring or to add flavor to the food.

Most of the additives in our food do no harm, except if you have an allergy to the food additives. Some people cannot eat foods high in carbohydrates for health reasons, other people cannot eat food that contain nuts as an ingredient. These people need to read the nutritional information on the food product to ensure they do not suffer an adverse health reaction.

I have seen labels on food products stating the products contains nuts or traces of nuts, as a warning to those with allergies to nuts. Before you buy any food product, if you know you have an allergy to certain additives or food ingredients, always read the nutritional information to confirm it is safe for you to consume. If you any doubts, then do not buy the product.
