DEFINING ADDITIVES IN FOOD PRODUCTS
2
INTRODUCTION

• We have divided additives in four groups which
  are
• 1. not harmful you have to be careful with the
  use
• 2. conditionally harmful it is recommended 4
  some people that they avoid using the additives
• 3.harmful if we cannot avoid them we have to be
  careful how much additives we consume
• 4. very harmful if it is possible we completely
  avoid them

3
GOAL OF EXERCISE

• We rarely read the label on the product, where it
  is written what chemical we would consume.
• This exercise is meant to see which contents are
  in a product and in which group we would put them
  in.

EXERCISE

• We chose different products, like sweets, soups,
  chips, soft drinks, etc.
• We read the ingriedients of the products and
  sorted them in four groups.
• We defined the products safety and the risk of
  consuming these supplemental.

  into groups according to how dangerous are they.

  additives
