Thanks!
Some of these additives are not mentioned in the ingredients. Food companies just mention " preservatives" . Further testing of these chemicals and their potentially toxic effects should be a priority for research.
There many additives that are used to improve a product's flavor, appearance, or texture, as well as to prolong its shelf life. While some of these substances have been linked to negative health effects and should be avoided, others are completely safe and can be consumed with little risk.

The chemicals used in processed foods are harmful. Many of the additives are carcinogenic & many of them have a great impact on nervous system & may cause nausea, headache and other difficulties.

Thank for bringing up.
Addisive in food I do not approve at all; makes long lasting Inge for transfering and supplying far away, packages involved, encourages excess eatings and wastages, while others are deprived.
Yes, additives and preservatives are potential health hazards. As the impacts of these various chemical are varies from person to person and not visibily noticeable. Therefor, most of the people are not agree to call it a hazard.
If we can't avoid processed food, we can minimize our dependency on it.

Not visibly noticeable? So what is the toxoicity and more than any chemical found in foods? In fact, food additives in the US and developed countries must be specifically approved for that application - GRAS.
In any case, let's see the data that drive your comment - or is this just so much chemophobia?
