Search is case sensitive! 😱 So you have to switch to Upper case anytime you want to search for some E... Weird...

It's a very basic app, with extremely limited content on individual additives. But it has a blatant bias towards the unfounded Yankee pseudo-science, paying barely lip-service to official European Union testing standards and approvals.

Hi, Sean! Additives up to the number 300 have detailed description. The safety ratings are taken from nonprofit organization NiNamVseeno.org which has gone throuh many studies from different sources to set the levels of additives. I have gone through studies myself to double check them. You may not agree with us, but we believe they are correct.

This is a very helpful app! It is great for knowing the baddies in a the tasty "goodies"! Maybe be a bit more accurate since there are many unknown risks!
