So, what is carboxymethylcellulose sodium?
Carboxymethylcellulose sodium (CMC) is a food ingredient that is widely used as a thickening, emulsifying, and stabilizing agent in various food products. It is a derivative of cellulose, which is a natural polymer found in the cell walls of plants. CMC is commonly used in processed foods such as dairy products, salad dressings, sauces, and baked goods. It is a white, odorless, and tasteless powder that is highly soluble in water. CMC helps to improve the texture, viscosity, and shelf-life of food products, making it a popular ingredient in the food industry.
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.
