What's in This? ISBN 0753513633 new ISBN 9780753513637

What’s in This?  by Clare Panchoo and Emma Izaby
For mums and dads in a rush, buying convenience foods is a reality but ingredient labels often read like a complicated science experiment. Somehow parents are meant to decode the complex terminology, additives and E numbers to provide healthy food. So this book is for today’s concerned parents who want to know what really goes into the food that they feed their children.

What's in This Stuff? ISBN 1405095490 new ISBN 9781405095495

It also contains an A to Z glossary of chemicals and E numbers, and a list of the 50 chemicals you should definitely avoid.
