Which ingredients do you think are suspicious?
Emulsifier - Antioxident - Preservative? Those are the only ones I can see
which don't occur in what I would call "traditional food". I have no idea
what they do in the human body but they are widely used in most prepared
foods and I haven't seen any suggestions of <specific> bad effects
although
it's always possible we haven't identified any particular ill-effects yet.
All the other things have probably been part of my home-cooked food at one
time or another.
Possible exceptions:
Rice flour, dextrose, hydrolysed soya protein.
I haven't used those exact forms but the first two are rice and sugar;
soya
is a good protein - will almost certainly contain some GM soya if that
worries you.
Maize starch is extracted from corn; cur***a - no idea what that is - I'd
guess a spice - will have a hunt around - google initially - anybody here
use cur***a?
Cheers
