Tired of wondering what's really in your food? Food Ingredient Scanner uses your camera and advanced AI to read and analyze food ingredients—just like a human would, but faster and smarter.
Use it immediately — this app doesn't require an email address, subscription, membership, account, or sign in.
No barcode? No problem. Our app doesn’t need one. Unlike competing apps that rely on barcodes, this app can read and interpret printed ingredients directly. Since it's not limited by the size of a barcode database, it can analyze millions of products. A barcode just represents an ID number. Other food scanners use them to look up foods and ingredients in a remote database via the internet. Unfortunately, these databases are usually incomplete, slow, and outdated.
While nothing beats reading the actual ingredients with AI, as a backup (when a food label is damaged or unreadable), our app lets you scan barcodes too. Using a built-in database, it can instantly recognize barcodes for close to a million different foods.
In 2-5 seconds, this app highlights every ingredient—flagging potentially harmful or controversial substances in red, and calling out superfoods in green. Simultaneously (in fractions of a second), it analyzes ingredients to determine whether they contain gluten. Tap on any red or green item to get a concise explanation of what it is and why it matters. The latest version can even scan hand-written ingredients and read ingredients upside down.
