Description
Your complete guide to reading labels, understanding what you eat, and choosing better.
Do you really know what's behind every ingredient? AvoidAdditives helps you identify food additives, read nutrition labels, detect sensitive ingredients, and make more informed choices when you shop. Scan, learn, and choose healthy food with confidence.
📸 TWO WAYS TO SCAN · Barcode scanner: check a product's composition in our food database. · Photo ingredient scanner: snap the label and the app detects additives, preservatives, food colorings, sweeteners, flavor enhancers, and other compounds. Forget the fine print: reading labels has never been this fast.
⚙️ PERSONAL PROFILE AND SMART ALERTS · Vegan and vegetarian profiles: spot ingredients that may not be suitable. · Mindful profile: alerts about additives you'd rather limit. · E number alerts: watch specific codes like E120, E621, or E250. · Keyword alerts: create warnings for terms like palm oil, alcohol, or caffeine. · Alert groups: sweeteners, monosodium glutamate (MSG), colorings, preservatives, nitrites, or nitrates. The app doesn't decide for you: it shows clear information so you can choose based on your habits.
📚 ADDITIVES & E NUMBERS DATABASE An encyclopedia of food additives by name, E number, or category: · Discover what each additive is and what it's used for. · Check its indicative attention level. · Look up common compounds like E330 citric acid, E300 vitamin C, E951 aspartame, or E621 monosodium glutamate. The approach is educational and prudent: not all additives are harmful, many serve important roles in preservation and food safety.
🧾 CLEAR RESULTS AFTER SCANNING · Whether the product fits your profile or not. · Which alerts are triggered and which additives are detected. · Reasons that explain each warning. · Scan history to review previous products.
🍎 FRUITS & VEGETABLES IN SEASON Discover which fresh products are at their best for your climate zone, with nutrient info, benefits, and tips to choose and store them. Eating seasonal fruits means better taste, better price, and a more sustainable diet.

Excellent data and easy to look up toxic foods. Thank you!
★★★★★Vas Pach· Nov 23, 2024
My personal assistant in identifying the ingredients in my food.
★★★★☆Shannon Wallace· Aug 3, 2023
This is a great app for people concerned with what they put into their body. It's well on its way to being fantastic but still needs some tweaking. Search bar doesn't show letters typed when in dark mode, there is no description to understanding the scale of toxicity, like I can't tell if "doubtful" or "do not abuse" is the safer option? But there is an extensive list of additives and information on them that is clear and easy to understand. I will be back to give 5 stars as this app improves.
★★★★★Amanda Booth· May 26, 2024
Feel it is useful for finding what's safe with allergies well I have found it incredibly useful, even though it doesn't scan medication, it just means you have to look carefully and search the name you are concerned about. Definitely recommend
★☆☆☆☆Giuseppe Ludovico Lagrange· Feb 7, 2024
The free version will not start unless you give consent to all their vendors to access your data. In other words, the "free" version is not free at all. Uninstalling.
★☆☆☆☆Ken Personal· Jul 6, 2025
Nothing like it looks. Also, adverts are hell on earth, what the app is and does who know its so polluted marginalized to as good as nothing and ugly and seemly does nothing,
★★☆☆☆Vedran Kesegic· Dec 8, 2023
Consent popus all the time. Information about additives is excellent and clean. But there is no search by name of the additive in Croatian language and 20x asks for consent to share my private data with who knows which companies. That makes app unusable. Uninstalling. Edit 8.12.2023: After latest update, app does not let me in unless I CONSENT TO ALL 135 companies and 66 partners to get my personal data and send me ads. If I Confirm my choices, app says I must consent to all. Uninstalling again.

Barcode function didn't let you place the camera over the barcode before erroring out and saying no barcode found.
