What are E numbers for?

E number just means that it is an additive that is approved by the European union to put in your food (in some amounts.) They are divided in different categories such as (E100-E199) colorants, (E200-E299) preservatives and (E400-E499) thickeners/stabilizers and emulsifiers.

Some people are afraid of E-numbers, but the truth is that there are some really innocent things on that list like vitamins, gelatin, oxygen, chlorophyl and caramel (and some debated things also like aspartame and monosodium glutamate of course.)
