Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because while it has decent information, it is slightly outdated and has some aspects that could use some updating. These flaws made it seem to be a good article to provide an evaluation for, to hopefully spark progress on the article.

Evaluate the article
The information presented in the article all aligned with the topic. Nothing was particularly distracting, as it all related back to the overall topic of the article. Regarding the information in the hyperactivity section, the source was from 2015 and thus a little outdated. A more recent source about the possible connection between food additives and hyperactivity could be found and would help update this article. Some sections seemed a bit sparse on explanation, which could be fixed easily with some additional information rather than just simple definitions. There is a good amount of sources, and they are all from reputable sources. The tone does not appear to be biased for or against food additives, and is quite neutral and informative. The sources are peer reviewed and the citations provide accurate links to access the proper sources. They are from various sources spanning a range of styles such as websites, and journals. This article is a part of the Food and Drink WikiProject, and is ranked as start-class. There is a great deal of discussion in the talk page about the safety of food additives and how more information needs to be added to the article regarding safety and effects due to consumption.
