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
_wheat_ flour (_wheat_ flour, calcium carbonate, iron, niacin, thiamin), sugar, palm oil, rapeseed oil, _barley_ malt extract, raising agents (ammonium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, disodium diphosphate), glucose syrup, salt, preservative (sodium _metabisulphite_)
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.
