Health: the danger of preservatives and food additives

In the modern food world, the use of additives, preservatives and colorants has become commonplace. This extends the shelf life of products and improves their appearance. However, these chemicals are causing growing concern among health-conscious consumers. Relais Gourmet is committed to offering quality products with a focus on authenticity and naturalness.
That’s why our duck foie gras is distinguished by its total absence of preservatives, additives or artificial colorings.

Why avoid preservatives and additives in food?

Producers often use preservatives to prevent rapid spoilage. However, some of them present health risks, especially when consumed in large quantities. For example, preservatives such as sodium nitrate are widely present in cured meats and other processed products. They may cause side effects such as digestive disorders or allergic reactions. Other substances, such as sulfites, can cause migraines or asthma attacks in sensitive individuals.

What’s more, while food additives may improve the texture, flavor or color of products, they are detrimental to dietary balance and long-term health. For example, monosodium glutamates, often used to intensify flavour, can cause feelings of unease in some people. As for colorants, their role is mainly aesthetic. However, some have caused adverse effects, including behavioral disorders in children.
