Names and jobs come from the register of additives permitted in Great Britain, which we have not finished transcribing: a code shown without a name is a gap in our coverage, not a finding that it is unapproved. Naming one is not grading it either. Full detail appears only where we have an assessment against a named authority, so all of this describes our coverage rather than these additives. Most are common and low concern.

Ingredients

Squid (molluscs)(35%), (wheat flour, canola oil, sugar, salt, colour: E160b(ii)), batter (wheat flour, water, thickeners (E1404, E1420), sugar, raising agents (E450, E500), salt).

As printed on the pack, in the producer's own order: ingredients are listed by weight, so what comes first is most of what is in it. E numbers link to their assessment where we have one.
