In the modern food world, the use of additives, preservatives and colorants has become commonplace. These are used to extend the shelf life of products and improve their appearance. However, these chemical substances 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.<\/p>\n\n

Why avoid preservatives and additives in food?<\/h3>\n\n

Food producers often use preservatives to prevent the rapid deterioration of foodstuffs. However, some of them present health risks, especially when consumed in large quantities. For example, preservatives such as sodium nitrate are widely found in cured meats and other processed foods. They can cause side effects such as digestive disorders or allergic reactions. Other substances, such as sulfites, can trigger migraines or asthma attacks in sensitive individuals. <\/p>\n\n

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 make some people feel unwell. As for colorants<\/strong>, their role is primarily aesthetic. However, some have caused undesirable effects, notably behavioral disorders in children. <\/p>\n\n
