A mobile-column food-safety infographic explaining additive categories, compliant use and four label-reading actions.

Create a 1000×1800 pixel vertical food-safety infographic suitable for reading in a mobile column.

Title: "What You Need to Know About Food Additives"; closing line: "Read the Label."

Explain that food additives are used to maintain quality, extend shelf life, or meet processing needs; clearly distinguish between "use within the approved scope and limits" and "use beyond the approved scope or limits"; use icons to illustrate the common uses of six categories: preservatives, sweeteners, colorants, emulsifiers, leavening agents, and thickeners; provide four actions: check the order of ingredients, learn the numbering codes, buy fewer compound seasonings, and prefer foods with shorter ingredient lists.

Light gray background with charcoal-black text; bright colors only to highlight the categories and actions; use clear section divisions and flat icons; keep the tone objective and plain.

Do not equate compliant use with a food-safety problem.

Warm the background
