So, what is hvp?
HVP, or hydrolyzed vegetable protein, is a flavor enhancer commonly used in processed foods. It is produced by breaking down proteins from vegetable sources such as soy, corn, and wheat through a process called hydrolysis. The resulting product is a brown powder with a savory, umami flavor that is used to add depth and complexity to a variety of foods, including soups, sauces, snacks, and meats. HVP is often used as a substitute for monosodium glutamate (MSG) and can also be found in vegetarian and vegan products as a source of protein and flavor. However, some people may be allergic to HVP or have concerns about its high sodium content, so it is important to read food 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.
