2012-04-30Just about every chemical that can be found in food, with information, risks and a safety rating. A great reference!
2011-04-16I use this all the time, amazed by what foods are allowed to contain. Would like more info regarding Gluten ingredients and how they are hidden.
2010-12-22I’m only providing this critique because I really like where this app is heading and hope it helps the developers to make an even better product that’s fully comprehensive and customizable.I noticed some holes in the types of data this app provides. It would be great to add M
2009-07-18ok, this app is great and all that, you know it has all the general information, but I personally think it would be nice if the application went into detail about what additives are banned by the fda. plus, maybe more additives. good app though. : )
2008-11-26Very nice interface and the way it looks. Could ask only for more full database of additives
2019-04-25 (U.S. App Store)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.
2013-08-28 (U.S. App Store)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.
