Food Additive Catalog

Most-used food additives + consumer awareness — one view

What it does

We pair real-world label prevalence with public awareness signals for every food additive—so you can see not just what an additive is, but how common it is and how much people care. • Two datasets, one screen: Prevalence on product labels + consumer interest side by side. • Purpose-built & structured: Consistent pages (Function · Common foods · ADI/Risks · Status US/EU/CA · Synonyms/E-numbers · Sources). • Trustable: Every fact cited (FDA, EFSA, JECFA). No SEO fluff. No ads.

My goal with this project is to separate fluff from science when shopping for supplements. I am doing this in 3 steps: 1.) I index every supplement on the market (extract each ingredient, normalize by quantity) 2.) I index every research paper on supplementation (rank every claim by effect type and effect size) 3.) I link data between supplements and research papers Earlier last year, I took pause on a project because I've ran into a few issues: Legal: Shady…
