I always heard that additives in something you buy in a shop which were declared as "E200" or "E330" being "Allowed /Approved by the European Community". What ever that might mean.... Some of these substance are downright dangerous (at least in my opinion, so I trying to get an objective overview together). Therefore I thought it was time to see what I could find out and publish that. Here's what I found so far:
