Useful & not, for soy allergy... I am hypersensitive to traces of soy & found myself regularly searching ingredients & derivation of everything edible, so I hoped this app might cut down time spent on that, however it only contains a half dozen soy additives - I know that there are around 260 listed as soy additives on other pages, however this app only has half a dozen.... (There are many more because soy can be used in manufacturing processes & not be overtly declared IE "Manufactured without"

I've been using this product in the Original Book 20 Yrs + APP really Great! Names or Nbs to check, has 1 or 2 Smilies for Good or Very Good, and Grumpies for Bad or Very Bad, Neutral Face for OK. Convenient for Quick Glance OR More INFO. Should add MSG (not just full name & 621)

Just paid for and downloaded this app and the first list of ingredients I have gone to look up and half of them aren't even listed ... ??? The list appears to be pretty light on for and you have no way of knowing what the app contains til you get it... Disappointed

Hi Katie Thanks for your feedback. Depending on the product type (food, cosmetic), manufacturers can list ingredients by multiple names eg. avobenzone in sunscreen has at least 9 synonyms. We typically list only the most common covering about 80% of products. Pls email team@chemicalmaze.com with your ingredients & we'll happily send an evaluation.
