Calcium ferrocyanide

Calcium ferrocyanide is a salt substitute, and was listed in 2012 by the EU as a "Food Improvement Agent". It is found at STP in the form of yellow crystals or crystalline powder.[1]

Uses

In the EU, ferrocyanides (E 535–538) were, as of 2018, solely authorised in two food categories as salt substitutes. Kidneys are the organ for ferrocyanide toxicity.[2]

gollark: Explain how it is first.
gollark: It's not saying that.
gollark: As best I can tell this is saying something about a "gravitomagnetic" effect and (best attempt to parse the insanity) you're trying to go from some reference to that to "so obviously something something gravity magnetism" to "everything is electromagnetism, electric universe, intergalactic Birkeland currents".
gollark: Not really?
gollark: Well, see, you're effectively just trying to push a ton of random papers and jargon with no explanation, so no.
