Hi, I’m Rahul. Why do manufacturers add so many chemicals to our food?

If fresh food is naturally safe, what’s the point of loading packaged foods with additives?

      Many additives are there for preservation, consistency, or taste — think of them as helpers that keep your chips crunchy or juice fresh longer. But excessive use lowers food quality. When you scan a product in FactsScan, it clearly shows which chemicals are necessary and which are just fillers.
