I have never paid attention to a list of ingredients listed on products label but the more I read about chemical ingredients make us crave sugar and do other harm, I became concerned once I read this post.
I am from Israel and have not actually found ingredients like MSG, aspartame mentioned on some of foods sold here. Could it be these ingredients have their code names. Those that start with "E" so you must actually reference to find the answer? I have posted photo below and it's a label taken from puding chocolate flavored powder package. You add entire pack 85g of powder and 600ml of milk to prepare pudding. I usually prepare and put it in a plastic container and eat a little every day from it. I am wondering if there is something I should be concerned on that list. Thanks.
I have noticed that power pudding although not as tasty as one sold in stores, it is less dense and less sugary. I guess I should consider making powder pudding at home then, despite it's main purpose is for baking cakes. It lasts longer and costs as 2 puddings sold in store.
Hey there

As for E numbers they are used to categorise food additives- i.e. things that are added for a specific function, such as preservation, or to enhance the colour or flavour... These can vary a bit between countries which makes it even more confusing. https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2017C00312 This lists the permitted food additives in Australia. I would suggest googling any ingredients you are unsure about
