E + some number

Hey, I've been digging around on Google and searching everywhere, but I can't seem to find a decent website that actually lists all those nasty stabilizers they dump into processed foods. I was looking for something organized, you know? Like, a list where it shows the specific number code and then explains just how bad it actually is for you.
Does anyone know of a site like that? Thanks.

I actually stumbled upon this one written in Canadian: 😉

This Canadian list is—unlike some of those lists from last year that were basically just spamming everyone’s Gmail accounts—actually precise and accurate.

I won't dive into all the technical minutiae myself (I'm certainly not an expert here), so let's leave that to the professionals.

Just look at this one example:
E330 - citric acid.
On that infamous, haphazardly compiled list from last year, it was flagged as hazardous. 🙄
No comment.
The Canadian experts explained the blunder perfectly:
Due to a linguistic misunderstanding, it was incorrectly interpreted as harmful and carcinogenic, when in reality, it is a completely safe, natural substance.

In any case... it's an excellent resource that provides exact citations for its claims.
It really ought to be translated into American English (for those who don't quite have a handle on certain Canadian technical terms 😉 ).

thanks👍

You’ll find tons of info about it online, but regarding E-330, that’s just citric acid... totally harmless, honestly. There's a ton of it in lemon juice anyway.

Oh man, please... stop digging up stuff from two and a half years ago just to find some more lukewarm water...🙄

This is actually a pretty solid resource for looking up E-numbers. You can click through most of them if you're looking to actually learn something.
