What it is

No additives means that no ingredients other than the basic food item itself have been added. This typically applies to single-ingredient foods like fresh produce or plain grains. These foods are in their natural state, without any added preservatives, colors, flavors, or other processing aids.

Why it's used

This designation is used for foods that are sold in their pure form. Examples include fresh fruits and vegetables, plain rice, or unsalted nuts. It signifies that the product contains only the primary food item and nothing else.

Health notes

Foods labeled 'no additives' are generally considered safe and healthy as they contain only the natural components of the food. Regulatory bodies like the FDA do not specifically evaluate 'no additives' as a category but assess individual food items. The absence of added substances means there is no risk associated with artificial ingredients, preservatives, or colors.

Allergen info

The allergen status depends entirely on the base food item. For example, plain corn tortillas would not be a major allergen, but if the base food was wheat, it would be. Not a major allergen unless the base food itself is one.
