Is This Vegan? Food Scanner

Wondering if a product is vegan? Point your phone at it and find out in seconds.

Is This Vegan? checks any food or drink two ways — scan the **barcode** for an instant database lookup, or snap a **photo** of the ingredient list and let AI read it for you. Either way you get a clear verdict — Vegan, Not Vegan, or May Not Be Vegan — with a plain-English breakdown of exactly which ingredients are animal-derived, plant-based, or uncertain.

SCAN A BARCODE
Point at the barcode and get an instant result from Open Food Facts, the world's largest community food database. See the product's vegan status, an ingredient-by-ingredient breakdown, certifications, and allergens — no typing, no guessing.

SNAP A PHOTO
No barcode, or it's not in the database? Photograph the ingredient list instead. The AI reads the label and flags hidden animal ingredients — milk derivatives, gelatin, carmine, shellac, whey and more — that are easy to miss.

KNOW WHAT'S HIDING IN YOUR FOOD
Animal ingredients hide behind names most people don't recognise. Is This Vegan? explains each one, warns about ingredients that vary by region (like sugar processed with bone char), and helps you shop with confidence.

ASK FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS
Not sure about an ingredient? Ask. Get vegan alternatives, learn what a additive really is, and dig into anything the scan turned up — all in a simple chat.
