Junk foods often contain various preservatives to extend shelf life and maintain flavor. Common preservatives include sodium benzoate, BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), and propyl gallate. These substances help prevent spoilage and rancidity but may raise health concerns when consumed in large quantities. Additionally, artificial colors and flavors may also be included to enhance the product's appeal.
