Food Additives and Labelling

Food additives are the substances that are added to food to maintain or improve the safety, freshness, taste, texture, or appearances of food are known as food additives. These food additives are also derived from the plants, animals or minerals and also can be synthetic. Food labelling can provide consumers with the information they need and desire to make food choices. Labelling is mandatory for nutrition information to be declared on prepacked food. Food labels contain more information; it’s frequently difficult to know what you should be looking for and what it all means. But if you want to improve your diet and make healthy choices, it's important to get into the habit of checking the label.
