book

this book lets you know what is harmful to you and its great helps you decide whats not good for you

Easy to use & Comprehend

Small enough to take with you to the store, yet full of info which is understandable. I keep it in my spice cabinet. One of the greatest books I've picked up.

Great little book!

I wanted a simple reference guide to take with me when I go shopping. I'm not, by any means, a fanatic about this stuff, but I want to be careful about what I feed my family. This book did the trick. It's tiny and fits in my purse and gives a brief description of the entries and a graphic symbol that make my decision quick and easy. If I have more questions about an item, there are plenty of great books out there with more in-depth answers. I use it all the time.

A great find! Recommend it to all serious dieters

This dictionary should be an essential part of every food allergic individual's home library. Simple, concise, and complete definitions assist in the indentifaction of possible hidden allergic ingredients. A great companion to take the supermarket for verifying source of unknown ingredients.
