Richmond slop contains:
● E450 – You wouldn’t expect sausages to contain added water but these low-meat (51%) sausages are practically dripping with it. The water is held in place by E450, a chemical which ‘solidifies’ the mixture

● E412 – an emulsifier which helps to hold fat and water together (the meat in these sausages is almost half fat); ● E300 and E307 - antioxidant vitamins which stop the fat content turning rancid. This givesthe product a long shelf life before it becomes unpalatable;

● E223 – a sulphite preservative which keeps the sausages safe to eat and prolongs their shelf life. Some people find that sulphites provoke shortness of breath and asthma;

● E128 – to disguise the low meat content these sausages have
been coloured with a synthetic chemical Azo Dye called Red 2G.

No thanks.

An E-number is given to any chemical that has been artificially separated from it's natural state. Such artificial separation can involve simply physical cutting.
Thus an orange contains no E-numbers, but if you cut it in half, each half contains about 17 or something.

It's just so that chemicals etc have standardised names across Europe innit.

Not all E numbers are harmful.

Correct, however the ones I have listed don't sound particularly pleasant to me.

Dear Mr & Mrs Dozer (RIP),

Due to his lack of progress, we shall be keeping your son back a year in the hope that he will be able to catch up with the other boys. May we also take this opportunity to remind you that the school uniform is *not* turquoise blue, and that knobbish 'sk8wear' is similarly not part of the dress code.

You were thrown out of the remedial class for being too dim.
And for being a Britass turqprick.
