Excellent reference October 10, 2007
Excellent reference for anyone working in the food industry or anyone who wants to understand the ingredients on their food labels.
Easy to read, items are listed alphabetically as you would expect from a dictionary, but another useful section of the book also includes informational overviews of food ingredient categories such as sweetners, colorings, emulsifiers,etc..
Definitely something I use and recommend.
