Nowa Market Bans Food Additives: Discover the Full List !


In today’s food industry, additives are everywhere. They enhance appearance, texture, and shelf life, but at what cost? Research has shown that some additives may have harmful effects on health, ranging from metabolic imbalances to allergic reactions, and even more severe long-term consequences.

At Nowa Market, quality and transparency are at the core of our commitment. Because your well-being comes first, we have made a bold decision: to ban a wide range of controversial food additives and provide healthier, safer products.


Which Additives Have Been Removed ?


We have identified several problematic categories of additives and have decided to eliminate them from our shelves:

1️⃣ Artificial Sweeteners

❌ Acesulfame-K, Aspartame, Saccharin, Sucralose (Splenda), Sucrose Polyester (Olean)
🔎 Why? These sweeteners have been linked to metabolic imbalances, hormonal disruptions, and may even impact neurological functions in sensitive individuals.

2️⃣ Artificial Colors and Flavors

❌ Artificial colorings and flavors
🔎 Why? Some artificial colors are associated with hyperactivity in children and may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

3️⃣ Preservatives

❌ Benzoates (potassium/sodium), Benzoyl Peroxide, BHA, BHT, EDTA, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Propyl Gallate, TBHQ
🔎 Why? These preservatives are suspected of hormonal disruption and may increase cancer risk over time.

4️⃣ Texture and Stability Additives

❌ Azodicarbonamide (ADC), Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO), Calcium/Potassium Bromate, Calcium Peroxide, Dioctyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate (DSS), Polydextrose
🔎 Why? Some of these additives have been linked to respiratory issues, thyroid imbalances, and allergic reactions.

5️⃣ Other Controversial Additives

❌ Cyclamates, L-Cysteine, ATEM (Acetylated Tartaric Esters of Mono- and Diglycerides), Ethyl Vanillin, Ethoxyquin, High-Fructose Corn Syrup, Carmine, Sodium Diacetate, Sulfites, Natamycin
🔎 Why? These additives are suspected of damaging liver and kidney function, increasing the risk of chronic diseases, and having negative environmental impacts.
