We have been working hard over the last year to find a clear and easy list of what we can and cannot eat when reactive to Sodium Benzoate or its so called friends.
Its so called friends are as follows and should also be avoided.
- E210 or Benzoic acid
- E211 or Sodium benzoate
- E212 or Potassium benzoate
- E213 or Calcium benzoate
- E214 or Ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate or Ethyl para-hydroxybenzoate
- E215 or Ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, sodium salt or sodium ethyl para-hydroxybenzoate
- E216 or Propyl 4-hydroxybenzoate or Propyl para-hydroxybenzoate (Banned in the EU)
- E217 or Propyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, sodium salt or sodium para-hydroxybenzoate (Banned in the EU)
- E218 or Methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate or Methyl para-hydroxybenzoate
- E219 or Methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, sodium salt or sodium methyl-hydroxybenzoate
All of the Categories and tables we have created will be updated as we find more information. The Medical University in County Cork, Ireland is the only place that i have been able to find any real kind of list or idea. The rest has been from actual trial and error.
We ask you to please help us and let us know via email – support@sb-ag.org – If you have found out items that are “reactive” so that we can add this to our listings and help others.
Please remember, that the lists of items are a guide. Manufactures and Producers could change the recipe without informing anyone. It could also be from human error as we are after all human.
