PLEASE NOTE: This free version has only 50 additives, so you can see what it is like before committing to buying the full version via an in-app purchase.
Take this quick guide with you next time you visit the supermarket, check product packaging for additives & find them fast to help understand their potential effects.
Not all food additives are bad for your health, but a large percentage have been associated with a whole range of potential health risks & side effects, that include:

2019-04-21
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.
