Traces of pesticide found in bottled apple juice is an example of an incidental food additive; it is not added to the juice to improve its quality, but is there because the pesticides were used in growing the apples and traces contaminate the juice. Vitamin A is added to nonfat milk to im-prove its nutritional value and artificial color is added to soft drinks to improve their appearance; both of these are intentional food additives. Irradiation of herbs and spices is a process, not an additive.
