penotti Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 In Europe, a number system is used to indicate additives and such, and I found it a bit tricky buying products without being sure if they were compliant or not. Below are the ones to avoid for sure, but perhaps there are more that i'm not aware of yet, feel free to comment! (wasn't sure if this was the right place to post this topic, hope i did ok! ) By the way, not all E-numbers are evil E-150b (sulphite) E-150d (sulphite) E-221 to E-228 (sulphites) E-407 (carrageenan) E-621 (MSG or Ve Tsin) A complete list of all the numbers: http://www.laleva.cc/food/enumbers/Enumbers.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thanks Penotti, as you say not all E- numbers are evil, and the E means they have been tested so that's something! I got caught with E621 in my kimchi Would be handy to scribble the numbers above on a scrap of paper to keep in ones wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Urban Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I actually found a few more E numbers to avoid for all of our UK Whole30'ers: E220 Sulphur dioxideE221 Sodium sulphiteE222 Sodium hydrogen sulphiteE223 Sodium metabisulphiteE224 Potassium metabisulphiteE226 Calcium sulphiteE227 Calcium hydrogen sulphiteE228 Potassium hydrogen sulphite E150b Caustic sulphite caramelE150d Sulphite ammonia caramel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulaSab Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I have not taken ibuprofen as they are sugar coated tablets. The paracetamol contains E223. What is ok to take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 If you are in pain take the meds - it's okay.The ibuprofen will be hard on your stomach so I'd suggest avoiding those & opting for the paracetamol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
