Does it contain preservatives, colourings or flavourings?

According to the information on the pack, ELEO Kõrvitsapuder contains no preservatives, flavourings, colourings or flavour enhancers. This means that the pumpkin flavour and colour of the product come from the ingredients themselves rather than from synthetic additives.

For those who read labels carefully and try to avoid unnecessary additives in their diet, this may be an important criterion when choosing. At the same time, a few points are worth bearing in mind:

• The full list of ingredients is always given on the pack — that is where you can check all of them, including possible allergens.
• The absence of preservatives means the product needs to be stored correctly: it is important to follow the storage conditions and dates given by the manufacturer and not to leave porridge that has already been prepared standing for long.
• The vitamins in the product are added nutrients, not a marketing label: they are part of the recipe and are listed in the ingredients.

If you are sensitive to particular components or have an allergy, go by the full list of ingredients on the pack rather than by general claims alone. If you have a chronic condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advisable to consult a specialist before introducing a new product into your diet.
