Wendyl Nissen's Supermarket Companion

“I began analysing supermarket foods every week for the Weekend Herald,” says Wendyl Nissen. “I thought it would be interesting and a bit of a challenge. But instead, I just got angry. Angry that sitting on the shelves which provide the majority of Kiwi families with their nutrition were additives banned in other countries and with known health risks attached to them.” Wendyl Nissen takes the reader through each food group in the supermarket and explains how families can avoid consuming hidden additives and start eating real food again. In the pages of this beautifully illustrated book you’ll find: . A comprehensive Food Code Table listing every food code, what ingredients each represents and what it could do to you. . The 49 additives you should avoid. . Which artificial food colourings are banned in the US and UK but are allowed in our food. . What is really in 48 popular food products. Wendyl also offers 76 easy, real-food recipes to replace processed foods and practical ways for families to start shopping smarter.
