Food additives are substances (natural or artificial) added to food to improve flavor, conservation, appearance etc. Food additives are not only present in the dishes prepared and industrial but also in drinks, meat and seafood. There are sometimes added to food to replace a natural ingredient more expensive (ex : aspartame which replaces sugar in two times lower cost).
We can recognize them because they must appear in the list of ingredients of foodstuffs. All food additives have a code starting with E and followed by 3 figures. Le “E” signifie qu’ils ont été approuvés par l’Union Européenne.
However attention to certain packagings where food additives are written in letters so easily deceiving the uninformed consumer ! Indeed the E102, E451 etc. many hardly reassure people who focus on the ingredients on the label.
They reinforce or give color.
They prevent the proliferation of undesirable microorganisms, to foodstuffs of mildew etc..
They decrease the oxidation that is to say that they prevent fats from turning rancid, les fruits de “brunir” une fois coupés.
They provide structure and consistency to a food. There are emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners and gelling agents.
They allow to correct the acidity of a food.
They strengthen and improve taste.
They can replace the classic sugar with a sweet taste.
Food additives can be placed in three categories : the harmless, the risky (all scientists are not in agreement) and dangerous.

Hello, je suis en parti d'accord avec toutes vos réactions. I just found out that I'm allergic to sulphites but there are from all the shit ! Dans l'alimentation , in cosmetics, in drugs , even in products with the organic designation. Why because it brings to those who manufacture ! to better sell, not for our health ! It kills himself we even at small fire ! I'm preparatrice in pharmacy ! I'm part of the system, I sell shit to treat people ! It gives me good conscience and we hide the reality in drugs there is crap also and especially not talking about generics !!! to which this proud should inquire this document alone to save his skin ! c'est un scandale même les médecins sont dépassés !!!! stop the benefit thought to life ! otherwise put a bomb on this planet and killed us all ! It will be faster and less painful ! but this will not yield ! c'es un scandale je veux me reconvertir en naturopathe pour essayé de préservé au plus naturel possible notre santé, well being and survival in this crazy world , profit and shit ! je m'excuse pour mon langage mais je suis en colère !!!! good luck to all ! I do not know how to return the situation , It can be too late when the policies will respond ! pétions yes why not ! mais une goûtes d'eau dans l'océan !! le seul pouvoir c'est l'argent dans ce monde de M !
PAR Pitié commence par apprendre l'orthographe
je suis entièrement d'accord avec vos commentaires et cela me fait rappeler ce que disait ma grand mère dans les années 50:"l'humanité est entrain de s'empoisonner elle même avec tous les produits chimiques qui commencent à être utilisés en agriculture comme en alimentation" et les résultats sont là d'année en année toujours plus de maladies graves .
I havent any Paine
Bourgoin center Leclerc 38 This morning : je n'ai pas eu le temps de lire les étiquettes

E 471 mono et diglycérides d'acide gras) (not to abuse E171 titanium dioxide (to avoid)E102 tartrazine (to avoid)Blue FCF E133 briant ( to avoid) ( E322 lecithine (not to abuse ) Rest is whether my reaction is credible to????? THANK YOU

Not to mention yet cooked shrimp but always with sulfites. Bourgoin at Leclerc
Great article, merci pour ces précisions :)
Je ne veux plus rien acheter d'industriel car je suis malade à chaque fois. J'ai découvert ces additifs et c'est ce que j'appelle "widespread poisoning of the population", c'est inadmissible. Les sulfites sont les éléments que j'évite le plus car il faut savoir que l'acide citrique industriel que l'on retrouve partout dans les produits alimentaires est très dangereux du fait qu'il contient de l'acide sulfurique d'après ce que j'ai lu dans la composition donnée sur internet. Il faut donc acheter des produits naturels et sans traitement au soufre mais il faut aussi savoir que les abricots et les fraises vendus frais sont aussi traités aux vapeurs de soufre. J'en suis à éviter de manger ces fruits frais également ainsi que les tomates et en général, beaucoup de produits emballés comme des sachets d'épinards ou les barquettes de champignons. Ce n'est que si vous, les clients refuser d'acheter ces produits nocifs pour la santé qu'il sera alors possible de faire pression sur les industriels.
Hi I want to know when the doses allowed in 1kg of the following additives; E202 E300 E422 E466 E471 E414 E415 merci
I react to sulphites, with nitrites, ascorbate, followed by the words potassium or sodium
donc j'épluche tout les étiquettes et je fais tous ce que je peux faire par moi même
en lissant les étiquettes j'ai souvent des surprises, not the good ones !
