Note about this food

Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid, used in food as an anti-caking and release agent rather than as a nutrient. A fatty acid is neither a carbohydrate nor an amino acid, so none of the twelve axes here has a substrate in it: nothing to ferment, and nothing for bacteria to turn into an amine. It is also used in fractions of a per cent, which puts the quantity far below anything these axes measure.
