What is E-number: Food Additives?

E-number: Food Additives

E-number: Food Additives is a super helpful app, especially with our growing population needing more food. As we all know, we can't just rely on traditional methods to keep up. So, we have to find ways to either create synthetic foods or make the food last longer. But here's the thing: both options usually involve using chemicals to treat our food. That's why it's really important to understand what these additives are and how they affect us. That’s where this app comes into play!

Easy-to-Use Design

This app is designed simply and cleanly, just like many others out there. It’s basically a database of around 360 different food additives, all organized in an easy-to-read format. One cool feature is that the additives are color-coded based on how they impact human health:

• Grey: Not enough research has been done.


• Green: Safe even in high amounts.


• Orange: Can be dangerous if consumed too much.


• Red: Usually banned by most international laws.

Your Go-To Guide for Additives

When you pick an additive to learn more about it, the app gives you a summary sheet packed with useful info for consumers like us! You can find details such as its origin, what it does as an additive, which products contain it, the safe daily intake amount, possible side effects if you consume too much, and any dietary restrictions you should know about.

A Must-Have for Sensitive Eaters

The E-number: Food Additives app is great for anyone sensitive to certain chemicals or compounds. With this handy database at your fingertips, you'll know what foods are safe and which ones you might want to steer clear of!
