A very useful wee guide to food additives, with easy-to-understand smiley faces or frowny faces to indicate whether they're going to kill you or not. I wrote an article on food additives a few months back, and found this a brilliant resource. I was also gratified to know that the orange colouring in Cheezels (the NZ version of Cheetos) isn't harmful. Unfortunately, blue Froot-Loops are little rings of death. I'm not sure about the purple ones yet. And MSG? Don't even get me started.

I've used this book for years and found it very helpful.
