So, what is butane?
Butane is a colorless, odorless, and highly flammable gas commonly used as a fuel source for portable stoves and lighters. It is a hydrocarbon and belongs to the alkane family, consisting of four carbon atoms bonded to ten hydrogen atoms. Butane is produced during the refining of crude oil and natural gas processing. It is also used as a propellant in aerosol sprays, such as hairspray and air fresheners. However, due to its highly flammable nature, butane should be handled with care and stored properly in well-ventilated areas.
How to quickly find the source of ingredients like butane?
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
