So, what is e557?
E557 is a food additive commonly known as potassium aluminium silicate. It is a synthetic substance that is used as an anti-caking agent in a variety of food products, including icing sugar, salt, and baking powder. This ingredient is generally regarded as safe and is approved for use by many regulatory agencies around the world. E557 works by absorbing water and oil to prevent clumping and to improve the texture of food products. Despite its widespread use, some people may have concerns about consuming synthetic substances in their diet, and it's always advisable to check the ingredients list before purchasing any packaged foods.
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.
