You claim not to add e-numbers and additives, so why are they in the ingredients for some COOK meals?

We never put any additives or preservatives into our food, but we do sometime use everyday ingredients that include some additives in their sub-ingredients. For example, Worcestershire Sauce contains Tamarind Extract, and White bread contains an Emulsifier (E472e) and Flour Treatment Agent (E300). We always investigate additive-free alternatives, where possible.

One strict rule is all products must be free from the following:

• Hydrogenated fats

• Genetically Modified Organisms

• Monosodium Glutamate (E621)

• Colours: Sunset yellow (E110), Quinoline Yellow (E104), Azorubine; Carmoisine (E122), Allura Red AC (E129), Tartrazine (E102), Ponceau 4R (E124)
