De app E-nummers geeft informatie over gezondheidsrisico’s van E-nummers in voedsel op basis van onafhankelijk wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Omdat E-nummers door de Europese Unie goedgekeurd zijn, zijn zo ook veilig… toch? Onafhankelijk wetenschappelijk onderzoek toont iets anders aan: de veiligheid van sommige E-nummers is twijfelachtig en in sommige gevallen zijn de risico’s zelfs erg groot. De bedoeling van levensmiddelen is dat ze je leven geven en niet energie afnemen. De verwerking van de chemische stoffen die schuilgaan achter E-nummers kost je lichaam soms mee energie dan dat er binnenkomt. In sommige gevallen zijn de risico’s dermate groot dat je er ernstige ziektes aan over kunt houden, bijvoorbeeld darmkanker. De Française Corinne Gouget heeft vanaf de jaren negentig wereldwijd de resultaten van onderzoeken naar E-nummers opgevraagd en verzameld. Deze gegevens heeft ze gebundeld in een handige gids. Wanneer meerdere onderzoeken tot de conclusie kwamen dat een E-nummer risico’s met zich mee zou brengen, werd dit E-nummer als risicovol bestempeld of zelfs afgeraden. Uit vele onderzoeken kwamen geen risico's naar boven, simpelweg omdat deze betaald werden door voedselproducenten. De Nederlandse vertaling van deze gids, ‘Wat zit er in uw eten?’, is al bijna twintig jaar op de markt en is een succes. In 2025 is de gids volledig herzien en bijgewerkt met resultaten van recente onderzoeken. De gids is ook beschikbaar als handige smartphone-app. Hiermee kun je snel opzoeken wat de risico’s van de toegevoegde ingrediënten zijn, die op de verpakking vermeld staan. Eigenschappen van deze app: • Volledige lijst met E-nummers • Zoekfunctie om te zoeken op nummer of naam • Zoek op nummer met een numeriek toetsenbord, zodat typen in een drukke winkel geen probleem is • Duidelijke indicatie van de risico’s: groen is veilig, oranje risicovol en rood af te raden • Extra informatie bij ieder E-nummer • Uitgebreide informatie bij de grootste boosdoeners • De applicatie werkt volledig off-line, er is dus geen internetverbinding nodig tijdens het gebruik • Volledig gebaseerd op onafhankelijk wetenschappelijk onderzoek; alle teksten zijn speciaal voor deze gids geschreven en vertaald naar het Nederlands Je kunt de app gratis downloaden en je krijgt direct toegang tot de E-nummers in de reeks E100, zodat je de app kan uitproberen. Voor de rest van de E-nummers, van E200 tot E1525, vragen we om een eenmalige betaling in de app. Je kunt deze aankoop delen met andere personen in je iCloud-gezin.
