Explain that food additives are used to maintain quality, extend shelf life, or meet processing needs; make clear the difference between "use within the approved scope and limits" and "use beyond the approved scope or limits"; use icons to explain ten common functions: preservatives, sweeteners, colorants, emulsifiers, leavening agents, thickeners, antioxidants, acidity regulators, flavor enhancers, and enzyme preparations; give four actions: check the ingredient order, identify the functional category, compare against the food category, and look up the standard when in doubt.
