What's New in E Food Additives

4.0

January 20, 2021

Redesign of the entire application, added support, and update of the content

User reviews

Questionable sources

Looks great but sources need to be improved. Eg 120 says it’s dangerous based on a hyperactive kids support group! What??!

Latest update

Really don’t like the update, I used this app to quickly search if something was vegan/plant based and could do so at a glance - now have to read all the info ☹️

Missing info

Good app, excellent layout, easy to find an item, but the info for most of the additives are incomplete! For example:

Titanium Dioxide

"Functions: Whitening agent in toothpaste, surface coating and also to help"

HELP WHAT?!?! That's how the sentence ends! Most of the additives I browsed end like this. Please fix this!!!

Similar apps have more info, but I'm sticking with this one in the hopes that this problem will be fixed because I like the design overall.

Brilliant

So useful for vegans - Thank you!

Really informative

I like this app. It's quick, simple and easy to look up any suspicious ingredients with a traditional traffic light system.
