Synopsis

Tartrazine, polydextrose and E133 – how are you supposed to know what’s dangerous and what’s not? The warnings we receive daily about chemicals used in our food and cosmetics can be overwhelming and confusing.

This user-friendly pocket shopping guide tells you at a glance which additives are hazardous, which chemicals are best avoided and which ingredients are safe, making it easier to shop for your family.

The colour-coded, alphabetical tables provide valuable information about potential health effects and take the mystery out of additive codes, helping you to choose which product to put in your basket and which to leave on the shelf.
