Also disapointed
Just a link to wikipedia..somewhat credible
Disappointed...
Just glanced thru at first and right away saw amaranth. Being GF I am familiar with the grain, but is listed here as a "synthetically manufactured azo dye" also known as "food red 9". It should also be listed as Red Dye 2 and in fairness a disclaimer placed that this is not the same as the grain as not everyone who sees the listing will be aware or know to check for themselves. Some may even claim fraudulent information. It makes the app look less credible... It's not helpful if I have to cross reference every listing because of a lack of clarity within the app creating doubt.
Hives/pain
No mention of Maltrodextrin and its many side effects, sometimes very serious and is being put in many foods as an flavor enhancer etc. a must to be listed and its side effects.
Bueno pero...
Muy buena herramienta para los que queremos saber que productos consumimos y nos hacen daño… pero no esta en español a pesar de que la descripción de app si lo esta! las descripciones son básicas e invitan a ver mas en wikipedia.
Great app!
Thanks for the great app, keep on working on improvements!
Misleading
Just read an article about brominated vetable oil. While my own research and the article list several side effects, this app states no info available. The above ingredient has such negative effects, that it is banned in numerous countries.
Useful app!
Just about every chemical that can be found in food, with information, risks and a safety rating. A great reference!
AWESOME APP!
Thank you!! Great app!
Great App
I use this all the time, amazed by what foods are allowed to contain. Would like more info regarding Gluten ingredients and how they are hidden.
