Calcium carbonates (E170)
Calcium carbonates (E170) is one of the markers Open Food Facts uses to classify a food as ultra-processed (NOVA group 4).
What it is and why it counts
Calcium carbonate is chalk. It is used as a white colour, to regulate acidity and to add calcium, for example in UK flour.
Cosmetic additives
NOVA calls these additives "cosmetic": they change how a product looks, feels or tastes rather than keeping it safe to eat. Their presence is one of the two defining signs of an ultra-processed food.
