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: The laws of physics/logic/etc do not forbid changing religion. You can also do the popular thing of "keeping" it but ignoring inconvenient bits.
gollark: Did you know? You are now breathing manually. That's what a thing like this would normally say, except that was actually just a distraction constructed to give some time for the cognitohazards to enter your brain. Enjoy!
gollark: The "fun" thing about is that OIR is actually served from an entirely separate part of osmarks.net and just happens to pull track info from the RSAPI because that was the best place I could find to fit it.
gollark: * radii, and maybe
gollark: Anyway, I am considering overhauling the Random Stuff API Current Song Protocol™ for OIR™'s frontend to run over websocket, allowing:- somewhat better performance maybe possibly- live chat about how much you hate a song
