So, what is sulphite ammonia caramel?
Sulphite ammonia caramel is a versatile food ingredient commonly used in the food industry to enhance the flavor, color, and aroma of various products. It is made by heating a mixture of sugar, sulphites, and ammonium compounds until it reaches a deep brown color. The resulting caramel has a unique bitter-sweet flavor and a rich, dark color that is perfect for adding depth and complexity to a variety of food items, including baked goods, sauces, and beverages. Despite its widespread use, sulphite ammonia caramel has been associated with potential allergic reactions in some individuals, making it important to read food labels carefully before consuming products that contain 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.
