These are used to maintain a constant acid level in foods despite variations
in the acid level of ingredients.
If you have had the appropriate tests for allergies or reactions to food
additives you can find the corresponding numbers that are shown on the packaging
to the names of the additives you have a problem with.
Also if you have been asked by your doctor to keep a diary of the foods you
eat to find the cause to an allergic reaction you may refer to this chart for
the names of the additives.
Or if you just simply wish to be aware of what you are eating you can refer
to this chart.
