In the modern era, food processing and preservation have become indispensable practices to meet the demands of an ever-growing global population. Additives and preservatives are pivotal in extending the shelf life of foods and drinks and maintaining their palatable value. However, as the prevalence of food additives and preservatives rises, concerns regarding their potential health implications have increased as well. The primary concern and focus of this research paper is associated with food additives and preservatives and their effects on the formation, accumulation, and abundance of carcinogens in food products. Carcinogens are substances capable of inducing mutations and other cancerous changes within cells, posing a prevalent threat to human health when consumed over extended periods.
