Description
Food Product Scanner – Decode Food, Nutrition & Ingredients Instantly
Discover What’s Inside Your Food. Scan any product label or barcode to reveal what’s really inside. The Food Product Scanner helps you identify harmful ingredients, allergens, and additives — so you can make safe, healthy, and informed choices every day.
• Scan, Analyze, and Understand
Simply scan a barcode or food label to get instant ingredient and nutrition analysis. Each product is reviewed for additives, allergens, and nutrition quality. Our database includes 3,000 + verified additives with safety data and classification based on scientific evidence.
• Science-Based Ingredient Evaluation
Every ingredient is reviewed using official assessments published by trusted global authorities such as the FDA, EFSA, WHO, and IARC.
We don’t create our own interpretations — instead, we rely on groups of scientists and their verified evaluations from peer-reviewed studies and safety databases.
Each ingredient is classified according to evidence level:
C – High Concern: may cause cancer / health issues / contains harmful substances (e.g. aluminum).
B – Moderate Concern: safety unknown / possible health effects.
A – Low or No Concern: no major warning, or minor notes such as may affect pregnancy, may cause allergic or skin reactions, may affect children, or not approved as additive in specific regions.
Because our goal is clear: scientific transparency you can trust — based entirely on real data, not opinion.
•Instant Nutrition & Additive Analysis
See clear, easy-to-understand nutrition breakdowns — calories, fat, sugar, sodium, and more.
Learn whether a product is high in sugar, low in fat, or balanced for your daily goals.
Perfect for tracking your diet, managing gluten-free or vegan preferences, or simply making better food decisions.
• Identify Allergenic or Sensitive Ingredients
The app instantly highlights allergenic substances like milk, nuts, soy, gluten, and also allergenic food additives — helping you protect your family from hidden reactions.
This also supports skincare and sensitivity awareness, since many food allergens overlap with ingredients that affect skin health.
• No Barcode? Scan the Label.
You can scan ingredients directly from the product’s label — the app recognizes text automatically and provides the same nutrition and safety insights even without a barcode.
• Your Ingredient Library
Explore and learn from our searchable additive library.
Understand what each E-number, chemical name, or ingredient function actually means — from citric acid to propylene glycol.
• Track Your Food History
Every scan is stored securely.
Review your past searches, compare products, or monitor how your nutrition choices evolve over time.
• Smart Tools for Every Lifestyle
Detect if food is vegan, vegetarian, or animal-based.
Identify gluten-free and lactose-free products instantly.
Get alerts when food contains animal derivatives or additives that may not align with your diet.
• Your Health. Your Data. Your Control.
Your privacy is a priority — no registration, no tracking, no ads, and no data sharing.
All scans and analyses happen securely on your device.
Even the free version is completely ad-free — because transparency should never be a premium feature.
