FoodSelect 1.0

Imagine being at a grocery store, navigating the deli section in search of a nutritious option for your home-cooked meals. Mindful of the unhealthy additives that some food manufacturers use to enhance taste or prolong shelf life, you diligently inspect ingredient labels to steer clear of any harmful substances. Your attention is drawn to a package of turkey deli meat that lists ammonium phosphate as an ingredient. While hesitating on whether it's safe for consumption, you delve into a quick search to understand the potential impact of this unfamiliar component on your well-being.
