C
Use of food preservatives and flavor enhancers and addition of vitamins A and D to milk are examples of intentional food additives; they are added to improve the quality of the food in some way. Incidental food additives contaminate or inadvertently become part of the food. Vitamins A and D add nutritional value, but food preservatives and flavor enhancers are added for other beneficial reasons. The term "artificial ingredients" does not differentiate between those added intentionally and those present as contaminants or added inadvertently.
