‘Chemical Cuisine’ App Makes Understanding Food Additives Easier | Food+Tech Connect

3 mesi fa  McDonalds recently announced it will no longer include “pink slime” (ammonium hydroxide) in its burgers. But what about all the other chemical additives we’ve never heard of and can’t pronounce. Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) in fruit bars? Phytosterols and phytostanols in fruit juice? Over the past few years several apps have popped up to help consumers figure out what is in their food and if they should eat it. But last year the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) quietly released Chemical Cuisine, an app for Android and iPhones exclusively dedicated to explaining additives in our food, based on the impressive data collected by CSPI on more than 120 food additives.
