So, what is idigotine?
Idigotine, also known as FD&C Blue No.2, is a synthetic blue dye commonly used in the food industry to enhance the color of various products, including desserts, candies, baked goods, and beverages. Despite its widespread use, idigotine has been the subject of controversy due to concerns over its safety. Studies have suggested that high doses of the additive may cause adverse effects, such as hyperactivity and allergic reactions. As a result, many countries have placed restrictions on the usage of idigotine in food products. While it remains a popular choice for certain food applications, consumers are advised to exercise caution when consuming products containing this ingredient.
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.
