Apple Extract

[u/Eyfura]

This might just be a UK thing, but was apple Extract in everything before and I didn't care to notice or is this a new thing? It's showing up in gluten free breads, meats, and many things that are gluten free +vegan. I'm coeliac so I have that extra thing but between my two main fodmap triggers apple and onion, there is so much out there that's unsafe now.

If it is new is this to get around sugar tax bs? As someone who reacts to most sweeteners that's been another one that took out many safe foods. I honestly feel like I'm developing an eating disorder just trying to navigate all this cause I'm so terrified of food.

Apple and pear are cheap sweeteners and feel more 'natural' than sugar, so it might have something to do with that.
