Hey, I’m Kavita. What exactly are food additives?

#additives

I always see long chemical names on packets — are those food additives? And why are they used so much?

      That’s a great question, Kavita. Food additives are substances added to improve flavor, color, or shelf life. Some are harmless, like vitamin C, while others — like artificial colors — need moderation. FactsScan decodes these ingredients so you know exactly what’s in your food and whether it’s safe.
