Hi Steve,

I'm in New Zealand so I think your brands of food will be quite different to ours!

As for names for starchy additives, avoid anything labeled as:

maltodextrin, modified starch, thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier

often these things are listed on the ingredients as a number - most starchy additives are a number in the 1400's eg (1442 is a really common one).

Here's a website that lists the numbers for various additives to avoid:

Hope this helps
Chelsea
