Those are very selective things you picked. E100–E199: Food coloring, such as turmeric (E100) and paprika (E160c) E200–E299: Preservatives, such as sulfur dioxide (E220) E300–E399: Antioxidants and acidity regulators, such as ascorbic acid (E300) E400–E499: Thickeners, stabilizers, emulsifiers, and gelling agents E500–E599: Acidity regulators and anti-caking agents This is pretty much the spectrum.
