Myredient: Ingredient Scanner

Myredient tells you what is actually in your food. Scan a product barcode or photograph an ingredient label, and Myredient breaks down every additive and ingredient inside — filtered to the dietary preferences you set. ★ A VERDICT MADE FOR YOU Set your dietary preferences once — vegan, vegetarian, palm-oil-free, added sugar, seed oils, and more — and every scan gives you a personalized verdict: a clear, at-a-glance read on how a product fits what you care about, instead of a wall of unfamiliar chemical names. Myredient points out what to look at; it does not certify that a product fits your diet. ★ WHAT MYREDIENT FLAGS Myredient cross-references each ingredient against a curated database of food additives and E-numbers, plus entries for oils and industrial sweeteners. It surfaces: • Artificial colors such as Red 40, Yellow 5, and titanium dioxide • Preservatives including sodium benzoate, sulfites, nitrites, and parabens • Flavor enhancers and sweeteners such as MSG, aspartame, sucralose, high-fructose corn syrup, and maltodextrin • Emulsifiers and thickeners such as carrageenan and lecithins • Refined seed and hydrogenated oils ★ REGULATED DIFFERENTLY AROUND THE WORLD For each additive, Myredient shows how official regulators treat it — permitted, allowed only under specific conditions (a maximum level or a mandatory warning), or banned — across the United States, European Union, Canada, and Japan. Each status comes straight from the regulators' own registers: the EU additives register (Regulation 1333/2008), the US FDA's Substances Added to Food, Health Canada's permitted-additive lists, and Japan's MHLW lists. Every flag cites its source — you see the facts, not a score. ★ SAVED FOR LATER Every scan is kept in your history, so you can revisit a product or compare options without scanning again. ★ HOW IT WORKS 1. Scan a barcode, or photograph the ingredient label with the camera. 2. Myredient identifies the product and parses its ingredient list. 3. Additives and possible preference conflicts are flagged, each with a plain-language explanation of what it is and what it does. ★ PRIVACY Your dietary preferences stay on your device, and ingredient matching runs locally. Product information is retrieved from public food databases including Open Food Facts and USDA. ★ WHO IT IS FOR • Anyone avoiding specific additives, dyes, or preservatives • Parents checking snacks and drinks for artificial colors • People following specific diets such as vegan, vegetarian, or palm-oil-free • Shoppers who want to understand ultra-processed ingredients Set what you avoid — seed oils, palm oil, added sugar, gluten, keto or vegan — and this food additives checker flags every match on the label.
