In this article, the importance of chemical food additives in science teaching is explored in the educational context developed in the Institutional Teaching Initiation Scholarship Program (PIBID). Although often little explored in basic education, these food additives contribute to harmful effects on human health, making it necessary to adopt preventive measures, especially in relation to knowledge on the part of the population. The study on the subject generated an educational game called “Who Am I” developed with 9th year elementary school students, which included theoretical classes on chemical additives, emphasizing the reading of labels on industrialized products. The game proved to be a good pedagogical tool for students' understanding of chemical additives and promoting discussion about their consumption, contributing to formal education related to food and health.
