Nowadays, the number of people who decide to change their eating habits is increasing, and as we know, at present it is being seen that different new and not so new diseases are being directly related to the food we eat daily.
Therefore, the challenge of buying food without additives is not so simple. At present, and the way of life that most people lead, means that enough time can not be spent in the kitchen , so we tend to buy more pre-cooked or processed products or dishes to feed us with the alerts that this entails.
Every time many manufacturers jump on the ecological and natural bandwagon as it is an important vein for sale, but really what they sell is not entirely true.
WHAT DO ADDITIVES REPRESENT IN FOODS?
The food additives that we find in food today are compounds or food substances that are added to food in order to modify its properties . Why? Adding additives to food is very common in order to modify properties such as color, texture, packaging time to make it longer, the smell that comes off the product.
How they see food additives make us see products from another point of view, without really knowing the product without them.
PRODUCTS WITHOUT ADDITIVES?
Finding products without additives is possible, we have a selection of canned game that do not have additives and are of tremendous quality.
FIND ADDITIVES IN OUR PRODUCTS?
In all labels of all products we can easily see the additives with which they are composed and thus be able to buy the ones that really interest us.
TYPES OF ADDITIVES
The labels must specify all the food compounds, as well as everything that has to do with the different qualities of the products.
Specifying, we must check their labels . On the labels we will find the calories of the products, in addition to the vitamins and minerals of which it is composed, these always have to exceed 15% of the energy value of the product.
Nutritional label
In this case we present an example of the type of label that we can find in any store, it will be important to review it correctly in order to assess whether the product has additives or not. We will find the additives with an E value, and the additives that exist in the European Union are regulated by the regulation CE 1333/2008 that dictates each additive with which nomenclature must go. In the case of colorants they represent E-100, for additives that are related to preservatives they represent E-200, for antioxidants it is E-300 and finally for flavor enhancers they are E-600 All these apart others are used today to significantly alter the food from the source that we consume. So it is preferable to bet on quality products, and correctly review the products to see if they contain additives or not.
