4/5Hives/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.

2/5Disappointed...
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.

5/5Well 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.

5/5Useful app!
Just about every chemical that can be found in food, with information, risks and a safety rating. A great reference!

The original (v1 was released in 2008!) & most beloved Food Additives app on the App Store is finally back! Thank you all for your patience & to all those countless fans who emailed asking if the app was ever coming back. Fantastic support! FYI, frustratingly the app had to be fully redeveloped from scratch to get it working again. So good news, after several months of hard work it's back to its familiar glory with an enhanced 3D UI & other improvements just to make it even better. If we gather renewed interest in the app (so please let friends & family know about it), we'll definitely be looking into adding all new features and tweak the design even more to bring it to new levels. Thanks again everyone & happy E-number checking. :-) WebArtisan Apps
