    This article clearly explained what food additives are and why they’re used. I appreciated the breakdown of different types, like preservatives and flavor enhancers. The writing was informative without being too technical, which made it easy to follow. It’s a helpful read for anyone curious about what goes into processed foods. Great job presenting the facts clearly!

  • This infographic gives a clear explanation of what food additives are and how they are used in everyday products. I found the section on artificial food colors and sweeteners especially interesting since it showed the possible health risks that come with them. It surprised me how common these additives are. The tips at the bottom were helpful and made me want to be more careful when choosing packaged foods.
