There is also essential nutrition advice, hints on what to look for when reading those unreadable ingredient labels, and even tips on buying fresh produce in order to avoid pesticides.

* Safety ratings on over 300 ingredients all based on the latest scientific evidence.
* Formatted for easy reference and small enough to carry along to the supermarket.
