Many foods contain food additives to extend shelf life and improve taste, color and texture. Some additives can be harmful to human health and may even be legally banned. So which additives should we avoid and how can we identify if they are harmful?
Food additives are chemical or natural ingredients added to improve the taste, color, texture and shelf life of food. In the European Union and in Turkey they are usually identified by E codes (e.g. E102 - Tartrazine).
Here are some ways to recognize harmful additives:
1. Get in the Habit of Reading Labels: Carefully examine the ingredients list of products. Be especially aware of additives with E codes.
2. Food Additives Known to be Harmful: Some additives should be consumed with caution due to health risks:
3. Prefer Natural Alternatives
4. Choose Products with Reliable Certificates: Products labeled “Organic”, “Non-GMO”, “Preservative Free” usually have safer ingredients.
