Many foods depend on additives for safety, stability or preservation. Preservatives inhibit growth of microbes that cause food poisoning. Ham and bacon would be highly dangerous without the preservative that also gives them their characteristic colour. Freedom from separation, or a smooth creamy texture, depends on emulsifiers. Without other kinds of additives many foods would look less pleasant, or taste less pleasant, or go off more quickly, or cost more.
