http://www.sustainabletable.org/issues/additives/
This is an article from the SUSTAINABLE TABLE published on September 2009. This article explains what processed foods are. It gives the regulations on types of additives such as preservatives, and flavorings. “Most processed foods rely on these additives to restore flavor that is lost in processing or create new flavors altogether. McDonald's, for example, adds "chicken flavor" to its Chicken McNuggets” .It also denounces the safety of such products. Unfortunately, some food and color additives have induced allergic reactions while others have been linked to cancer, asthma, and birth defects. “The FDA requires that all ingredients be listed on a food's label, but additives are often listed without specificity, as "spices" or "flavorings," making it impossible for consumers to determine what, exactly, they are eating.”

It concludes by saying that some additives effects are unknown because they were not tested
