About us

©2007 ActionOnAdditives.com The Action on Additives campaign aims to list all the foods, drinks and medicines which contain the additives linked to hyperactivity in susceptible children*.

The campaign is coordinated by The Food Commission and has been funded by a donation from the Organix Foundation, a charity which seeks to promote better quality food provision for babies and children.


The Action on Additives website is coordinated by The Food Commission, a not-for-profit company which campaigns for healthier, safer food in the UK. Visit the website at http://www.foodmagazine.org.uk/ for lots more information on food and health.

 * The research on additives and hyperactivity was published by The Food Standards Agency in September 2007. The research found that mixtures of artificial colourings and the preservative sodium benzoate could be linked to a negative effect on children’s behaviour.
