Goodbye Battenburg?

I was interested to read in several newspapers that the Food Standards Agency was considereing whether to ban certain e-numbers from childrens food. Apparently there is increasing evidence to back up the long held common belief that certain foods can make a child go off like a rocket and, more seriously, that some enumbers can adversely affect hyperactivity disorders. Well, here at Kiddies Kitchen we are all for banning these unnecessary additives. Our organic baby foods and toddler meals are all produced without resorting to the "dirty dozen" additives (as Organix have christened them) and most have no added salt or sugar either. Just great organic ingredients carefully cooked to produce the best organic baby foods around.

The only fly in the ointment I can see from the proposal was the worrying possibility that, if a ban were adopted, Angel Cake and Battenburg may have to disappear from the shelves at least temporarily whilst they figure out a more natural way to get those great colours....
