It is recommended to choose more products for your daily diet with as short and simple an ingredient list as possible. The list of ingredients also indicates food additives, if the product contains them. Food additives are substances that are not usually consumed in food on their own, but are added to food for technological reasons to affect its properties. They may be designated by the letter “E” (e.g. E 330) or by their full name (e.g. citric acid). In addition, the purpose for which the food additive is added to the product is also indicated, for example, acidity regulator, flavour enhancer, colouring agent, etc.
