Product Description:

FOOD ADDITIVES: A Shopper’s Guide To What’s Safe & What’s Not reveals what food manufacturers don’t want you to know about their products. It shows you how to find the truth behind deceptive food packaging. You will learn how to confidently read labels so that you will know how healthy a food really is and if it contains dangerous ingredients.

This book classifies over 1000 commonly used food additives according to safety, whether they may cause allergic reactions, and if they are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. In just seconds, the average person can determine if the food they’re buying contains dangerous substances. The book is clear, concise and easy to use.

Customer Reviews

Decent resource especially for price by Cheryl
This is a convenient resource to use while shopping, and generally has listed most ingredients that I have referenced. So far, I came across one ingredient (listed in Shop Rite fresh bread) that was not listed (mononitrate, and I just used the listing for “nitrates”.

Excellent handbook resource by Faithful Covenant
This is a practical handbook for the layperson and as well, the health professional to use while shopping and teaching others factual data of what is in the food items they are purchasing. This book has a simple approach and easy to carry size making it a good choice. The alert to the label designation of genetically modified ‘8′ on fresh produce is a valuable community service. Thank you Christine for the tip on ’salted fish’ being a carcinogen. This is entirely true! The fish lie is exposed in my ebook ‘There’s Fishy Business Going On’ for the public review. Thank you Christine for your public service, I do recommend this useful book for others.

Very helpful by Kirk M. Mumford
I find this very handy for checking out food labels and the small size makes it easy to carry.

What the FDA says is safe, isn’t necessarily what you want to eat. by Julia Lumier
Just like the author says, anyone who eats needs to read this book. It’s a pocket-sized reference guide. Pick it up!
