Why is it that processed food claim they have no artificial colours or flavours but when one inspects the contents label it list substances such as colour 100 or flavour 600?

Because they're technically correct, they are not artificial substances.

They are artificial reproductions of natural substances.

It can be, but you'd have a hard time proving that it wasn't a natural product.

E100 Curcumin Orange-yellow colour; derived from the root of the curcuma plant, but can be artificially produced

That. Is. AWESOME.
I'd actually rather have that than a modern style-less, cookie-cutter, everyone-has-one, camper van...and as long as it's the six cylinder version it should go OK.

Interesting as this comes back to another of mine:

How come if a Bee makes Honey from pollen is it deemed "natural", but if a human makes things it is "artificial" ?

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is flavour enhancer E621 (E621 being its food additive code) and flavour enhancer E635 is Disodium Ribonucleotides.

The package is correct, it has no added MSG.

Though that doesn’t change the fact it still tastes like crap.
