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.

There are several types of food additives :

  • Dyes : code E100

They reinforce or give color.

  • The Conservatives : code E200

They prevent the proliferation of undesirable microorganisms, to foodstuffs of mildew etc..

  • Antioxidants : code E300

They decrease the oxidation that is to say that they prevent fats from turning rancid, les fruits de “brunir” une fois coupés.

  • Texture agents : code E400

They provide structure and consistency to a food. There are emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners and gelling agents.

  • The acidifying : E500

They allow to correct the acidity of a food.

  • Gou enhancerst : code E600

They strengthen and improve taste.

  • Sweeteners : code E900

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.

  • Suite à l'émission de ce soir le 16/09/13 vaccination à base d'aluminium et les causes sur notre santé : drug, cosmetics and food. Je suis scandalisé par le faite d'apprendre par le biais d'une émission et non par le ministère de la santé "is he asleep ? or prefer a cause to effect" Aura-there the good sense someday ?
    STRONGLY BIO HAS ALL THE LEVELS

    Kind regards

    • We do not know what we eat! Are we not asking why? it to as many cancers!

      Nous sommes entrain de détruire la terre entière sois-disant pour le progrès et l'avancement $$$$$ ,et c'est vraiment triste!
      I believe that we are moving all to the destruction of nature , of the animal Kingdom, végétal par trop d'ambition sans se soucier de la protéger notre planète de l'aimer pour ce qu'elle nous donne. Amicalement Marie!

      • Bonjour Marie,

        Je ne rajoute rien à ton commentaire je suis en parfaite adéquation avec ton point de vue ;-)

      • Je suis tout-à-fait d'accord, je dirais même que l'on presse notre planète Terre comme un citron (exemple du pétrole)..... lorsqu'il n'y aura plus de jus qu'elle aura terminé son agonie..... eh bien c'est l'être humain qui disparaîtra en même temps... c'est vraiment triste et révoltant de se sentir impuissants à notre petit niveau ...

      • Ce n'est pas la planète que nous tuons, mais l'espèce humaine. La planète nous survivra sans problème, et comme l'a si bien dit Dr. Macolm, la vie trouve toujours son chemin ;)

    • à condition que ceux qui font du bio ne soient pas plus malhonnête que les autres. Que pensez vous d'un apiculteur qui vend du "miel bio" et qui s'approvisionne auprès de grossistes qui importent du miel de Slovénie, chine ou Amérique du sud ! Ou sont les contrôles? et sur quels critères sont ils fondés ? contrôles aux frontières uniquement administratives ou prélèvements pour analyses ?

  • It is better to put the radar on the roads, cela rapporte plus que de faire une véritable réglementation qui interdise toute addition de saloperies dans la nourriture...
    States to prohibit purely and simply any addition of hazardous products (or potentially dangerous) in food !!!

  • The food mafia , merchants of death , le dieu unique numerique POGNON devant lequel on s'incline tous sans exceptions gagnera le coeur et les ames jusqu'à ce que ce pauvre rocher qu'on appelle "Earth" ne soit plus qu'un tas de merde immonde et invivable pour les generations futures , The elect , qui ne visent qu'a s'en mettre plein les poches , happy to close their eyes and certainly do not eat the food of ordinary people !!!

  • But why did we get here ? Parce que la population ne cesse d'augmenter et en combinaison avec la soif de profit on en est arrivé à une situation où il fait produire sans cesse, à un coût toujours moindre et sans se soucier de la planète que nous sommes vraiment en train de détruire...Par ex. toutes ces forêts détruites pour produire l'huile de palme......Notre planète souffre, n'est plus adaptée à cette SURPOPULATION mondiale et nous allons droit à la catastrophe (qui a déjà commencé d'ailleurs !)

  • Pourquoi l'additif E 385 and (E) 386 sont à ¨¨ÉVITER¨¨ avec point d'exclamation !
    Est-ce qu'on est incertain de la nocivité de ces additifs ?

  • ALL TOGETHER !!!! c'est déjà individuellement, to become one day the " ALL TOGETHER " who can change things. Let's stop the pockets of these capitalists first by stopping our shopping in the supermarket Leclerc, Auchan, Carrefour and other kills little by little shopkeepers that they make quality .
    Let us wake up !!! Do not continue to believe that our Government are aware of nothing. All of this is voluntary," kill slowly all low social classes offer them poison" is their goal. C'est en se prenant en main, individuellement que nous pourrons changer cela avant qu'il ne soit pas trop tard. Eveillons to the reality of things instead of complaining. Agissons du mieux qu'on peut et en toute conscience!!!!

    • Que les petits commercants commencent d'abord à faire la qualité que tu évoques...
      Je suis d'accord que les GS tuent le commerce de proximité, mais la réalité est que les petits marchands n'ont pas toujours besoin des GS; they will destroy all alone.
      They sell the same products, less fresh and often more expensive.

      S'il font de la vraie qualité... It will survive. C'est le sort de tous ceux qui le font.

    • J'ai essayer nombre de fois les petits commerçant qui sont censé faire de la bonne qualité .... Aucun ne m'as satisfait. J'ai bien souvent été plus arnaquer qu'autre chose ! The fruit seemed fine and in 3 days they were rotten. En plus c'est bien plus cher que dans les grandes surfaces.
      Pour finir j'ai été obligé de trouver une ferme qui est à pèrpète les oies. Soit ils ont d'excellent produits, mais y aller me prend beaucoup de temps et d'essence (et l'essence se trouve à leclerc, super u etc etc...) in other words I can hardly ever go there. Donc c'est bien beau de dire d'ouvrir les yeux, but it should be can be doing for you as Sabine P. Those who can go directly to the producer or having a good small trader close to home have much luck !!! And, I think so, too little to be able to change things.
      A system should be put in place. Cela coûterait de l'argent, du temps aux producteurs et il faut se battre pour et tout le monde n'en a pas envie. Sans compter les choses nécessaire que l'on imagine pas pour mettre en place un projet pareil.

      Sa to say that many people would want as its Exchange, mais dans l'état actuel, should overturn many things that would put everything upside down, qui supprimerais des emploies etc etc....

  • Very interesting article. There are 1 Child on 70 qui est touché de l'autisme aux USA. Certains pays en n'ont pas du tout. Personally I believe that the culprit is here.

  • A recent study, carried out by a researcher awarded a prize, semble indiquer que l'acide cholique (E1000), shown here as little/no toxic, would in fact have a deleterious effect on male fertility, promoting the passage of fertility or diabetic disorders in the offspring.

  • By reading the composition of Vichy basin pellets, manufactured by McMullen Vichy health, j'ai constaté dans la composition de c es pastilles, MADE TO AID DIGESTION, des sels de magnésium d'acides gras.
    When we know that this E 470 b ( sels de magnésium d'acides gras) must be used " without abuse" and the risks are contrary to what package advertising Announces, on constate qu'une fois de plus on nous trompe volontairement.
    Should be aware that Vichy pellets contain a product which is contrary to what the advertising Announces!
    Merci d'avoir lu ce petite message.

    • extremely true for a short time I suck these Vichy pastille moinet . et j'ai des brulures importante dans le tube digestif
      sa m'a l'air de venir de cette saloperie qui sont vendu pas cher a intermarché . sel de magnésium d'acide gras sa a l'air dangereux a aute dose .
      yes gingham name is used just to sell this shit
      j'ai tombé dans le piége .
      in addition it is written in large character moinet gingham health company. pas facile d'éviter ce piége
