What Foods Contain Certain Additives?

There are a lot of nutrition data sites around, but this one has (as far as I know) a unique way to search. On FoodFacts.com you can search by manufacturer, brand, individual ingredients, vitamins, and additives.

With it, I discovered that Wal-mart Bread sticks actually contain Propylene Glycol. Amazing stuff.

Oh, I could tell you all kinds of great additives that are used in processed foods. Propylene glycol is actually pretty commonly used as an emulsifier. There are all kinds of things used to improve texture (various gums, starches, emulsifiers, etc.) and flavor (MSG, other sodium compounds, etc.). This is why I don't eat the foods that I help to test.
