Yes, I am familiar with food chemistry! 🍽

Chemistry is often associated with harmful pesticides, but in reality, we consume various chemicals every day through food. These substances can be essential and beneficial to our health, neutral, or potentially harmful. To manage this, a classification system for food additives was developed in the early 1960s to provide clarity on which additives are safe to use, their assigned numbers, and their acceptable daily intake limits. This classification helps ensure that the chemicals in our food are regulated for safety and health purposes.
