To help decipher food packaging, labels, the ingredients and additives in products, The Food Werewolf is developing a database to make good food choices super easy and accessible to all, no matter where you’re located. For more information on our database, click here.
In the meantime, here’s a few fact sheets on food additives and some lists of all the food additives to avoid. The full lists indicate all additives, ‘ok’, ‘questionable’ and ‘not ok’ with possible symptoms and who they affect most. The short lists indicate only the additives to avoid. I recommend using these lists whilst out shopping to ensure all foods you purchase are additive free. For easy to download pdf copies of all lists ready to view on any personal device, click here.
