Gıda Katkı Maddeleri

The advancement of technology has also shown itself in the food sector and ready-made foods produced using food additives have taken their places on the shelves. Today, it is almost impossible to find products that do not contain additives. Considering the fact that we consume additives approximately as much as our own weight in a year with the food we eat, it becomes necessary to develop a strategy that is at peace with additives but in which we can minimize their damages. The first step in this is to get to know the additives closely.

Food additives are associated with many diseases, from allergies to migraine, from hyperactivity to cancer. In addition, there are many additives obtained from animal sources that are important for our beliefs and individual preferences.

This application offers you the information found in encyclopedias in a practical way. With the application, you will be able to easily understand which product is healthier in terms of food additives and which is better suited to our beliefs and personal preferences.

In practice, all additives that are technically classified as food additives and have an E number, in other words, are included in the Turkish Food Codex, have been evaluated.

In addition, there are some additives that are used in foods but are not classified as food additives. These do not have an E number. These items are not included in the application. Perhaps, over time, these types of substances found in foods will also be included in this application. Therefore, you may not find all the ingredients you see on food labels in this program.

While creating the program, Prof. Dr. The books written by Fatih Gültekin on food additives were used. In some subjects, the Halal and Healthy Food Platform was used. In other words, every written piece of information has a source. Those who want detailed information can apply for the paid version of the program or directly to the books.

Our aim is to announce consumer preferences to producers while trying to increase the awareness of consumers. Otherwise, it is not to grudge or reproach any brand or product.

With all kinds of warnings and contributions of sensitive consumers who want to know what they eat, stay away from some health risks, and feed according to their beliefs and individual preferences, this program will get much better. If you want to eat well, please feed us with your warnings.

Best regards.
