So, what is citric acid.?
Citric acid is a natural, crystalline acid found in citrus fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges. It is commonly used as a food additive to enhance flavor, add tartness, and balance pH levels. Citric acid is also a popular ingredient in many household cleaning and personal care products due to its natural cleaning and preservative properties. It is a versatile ingredient that can be used to preserve food, add a sour taste to candies and drinks, and even as a natural remedy for kidney stones. As a food ingredient, citric acid is safe and widely used, making it a staple in many kitchens and manufacturing facilities.
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.
