According to the Spanish Food Code, additives are "all substances that can be intentionally added to foods and beverages, with no intention of changing their nutritional value, in order to modify their characteristics, processing or preservation techniques or to improve their adaptation to the use for which they are intended.
Throughout history, mankind has needed to prolong the shelf life of food, modify its organoleptic characteristics or stabilise its physical properties, with the aim of surviving periods of shortage, drought or winters.
Currently, there is a myth that all food additives are bad and harmful to people's health, however, the truth is that these products allow people to consume tasty, healthy and safe products.
