EXPERIENCE

FOR THE FRESH-EYED

When most traders have finished work after the night shift and are sitting at the breakfast table, cultural life begins in Hamburg’s wholesale market. The German Food Additives Museum receives its first groups of visitors, the Mehr! Theater builds the stage for the evening performance and barriers are erected on the wholesale market site in readiness for an open-air concert. Early risers can even experience the night-time trading live on a conducted tour of the wholesale market.

  • German Food Additives Museum

    In the EU, thousands of additives such as flavourings, enzymes, colouring and flavour enhancers can be use in food production. Many of them do not even need to be declared. Even with bioproducts, numerous additives are permitted. Without these additives, many types of food would not be available and others would be significantly more expensive.
