Food additives are in many of the foods we eat. They get into foods either by direct (intentional) or indirect (incidental) routes.

Explain several possible benefits that food additives provide to consumers.
Explain several possible negative effects that food additives may have.
Do you think most consumers understand and/or are concerned about food additives? How can consumers make more informed choices about foods that contain food additives?
Research at least two different additives. Provide a brief review of each and discuss their benefits and potential negative effects (if any).
