E-Numbers

[Jacques]

Just drinking some orange juice and saw on the carton that E221 was used as a preservative.

Now E221 is Sodium Sulphite and I use Sodium Sulphate a lot. It's a clearing agent used in photography to slow down the oxidisation of the developing agent.

It's also pretty nasty to the environment.

Should be Sulphite and not Sulphate.

Oh and I drank the orange juice anyway.
