PackFacts: Food Label Scanner

One scan. Every diet in your house. Most food scanners check one product against one person. PackFacts checks it against everyone you shop for — and against whatever rules each of them actually follows. BUILT FOR A MIXED HOUSEHOLD Add each person: partner, children, parents. One of them keeps halal, another is Jain, a third has a peanut allergy and a fourth has high blood pressure. Point the camera at a label once and every one of them gets their own answer, with each warning saying whose it is. No other scanner does this. RELIGIOUS DIETS, CHECKED HONESTLY • Halal — flags pork, pork gelatin and alcohol outright • Kosher — flags pork, pork gelatin and shellfish • Jain — vegetarian plus no eggs, honey, onion, garlic, potato or other root vegetables • Hindu — flags beef, beef gelatin and beef tallow • Vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian And where ingredients alone cannot settle it, PackFacts says so. Unspecified gelatin, rennet or meat is reported as "the ingredients don't rule it out, but only a certification mark can confirm it" — never as a false pass. For a strict observance, that honesty is the whole point. ALLERGIES AND HEALTH CONDITIONS TOO Peanuts, tree nuts, milk, egg, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, sesame and more, including allergens hiding under an ingredient's other name. Plus diabetes, hypertension, PCOS, high cholesterol, kidney disease and coeliac — each with limits from WHO, FDA, AHA, NASEM or ICMR-NIN, cited on screen. READS THE LABEL, NOT A BARCODE DATABASE Barcode scanners fail on anything they have not catalogued. PackFacts reads the printed ingredient list itself, so it works on local brands, imports and regional packs no database has heard of — in English, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Over 1,900 ingredients with names in 18 languages. WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE No account. No server. No upload. Your family's allergies, medical conditions and religious practice never leave your phone, because there is nowhere else for them to go. It works in a basement supermarket with no signal. ALSO • Traffic lights and per-person daily percentages — a child's limit is not an adult's • Additives and E numbers explained in words, not codes • Compare two or three products side by side • Reference intakes for the US, EU, India, Japan, China or Korea • 18 languages IMPORTANT PackFacts is an informational tool, not medical or religious advice. For a severe allergy, always read the packaging yourself and contact the manufacturer when in doubt. For strict religious observance, look for an official certification mark.
