...there are thousands of permitted additives, and few have ever been tested thoroughly for possible long-term harmful effects in man.

Although there is only the remotest chance that even a minority might be hazardous, further testing of many additives, by chromatographic techniques that did not exist when the substances were first introduced, is clearly indicated.
