So, what is dioxid de sulf?
Dioxid de sulf, also known as sulfur dioxide, is a colorless gas with a pungent odor commonly used in the food industry as a preservative, antioxidant, and bleaching agent. It is naturally produced during fermentation and is added to many processed foods such as dried fruits, wine, and baked goods to prevent spoilage and discoloration. However, excessive consumption of this ingredient can cause adverse health effects such as respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and even asthma attacks in sensitive individuals. Therefore, it is important to consume foods containing dioxid de sulf in moderation and always read labels carefully.
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.
