1. That's a very common question. We're told that if you eat a variety of the allowable foods you get enough nutrition. Things like potatoes and red meat cover a lot of ground. I'm a bit paranoid about Vitamin C so I occasionally take a small (250mg) supplement.
2. Home made F&C can easily be beige, but commercial ones are usually cooked in non-beige oils, and the potatoes are treated with sulphite preservatives to stop them going brown. You can also get flavour enhancers tossed in to the batter and the salt, and vinegar is non-beige.
