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.

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.

Well made and informative

Few apps are as informative with good UI. They do a great job of informing about additives, written in a way that anyone can understand what is in their food. A must have for people who eat stuff.

Developer Response ,

Thanks you so much SomeFdUPLiberal for the great review & support, it's greatly appreciated :-) Kind Regards WebArtisan Apps
