SafeLabel

🔎 SafeLabel: Ingredient Scanner & EU Standards Checker Tired of complex labels and confusing E-numbers? Or it is very small and unclear for you eyes, SafeLabel is your instant guide to what's really in your food. We empower you to shop like a European consumer by flagging additives and ingredients that are banned or strictly restricted in the European Union and other major global markets, but are still commonly used in U.S. and Canadian products. 📸 How It Works: Scan and See Launch & Scan: Open the app and use your camera to scan any list of ingredients on a packaged food product. Instant OCR: Our Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology digitises the text in real-time. Cross-Check: The app instantly compares the scanned text against a strict, regularly updated database of high-risk food additives. Red Flag Alerts: Get immediate, unambiguous alerts for every controversial ingredient found. 🇪🇺 The SafeLabel Advantage: Strict EU Standards In food safety, the European Union (EU) often takes a precautionary approach, banning ingredients where potential health risks cannot be fully dismissed. This leads to a major difference in packaged foods across continents. SafeLabel uses this strict standard to give you a clear assessment of ingredients you may wish to avoid. 🚨 What We Flag: High-Risk Additives & E-Numbers Our database focuses on ingredients that are subjects of major global controversy: Banned in the EU: Instantly flags major EU bans, including Titanium Dioxide (E171), Potassium Bromate, and Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO). Controversial Preservatives: Alerts you to highly regulated substances like Sodium Nitrite (E250) and BHA/BHT (E320, E321), which are restricted globally. Hyperactivity Dyes ("Southampton Six"): Provides a specific warning for artificial colours that require a mandatory warning label in the EU due to their link to hyperactivity in children (e.g., Yellow 5/E102, Red 40/E129). Olestra: Flagging this controversial artificial fat substitute, banned in many international markets. ✨ App Features Real-Time Camera Scan: Fast and accurate OCR, optimised for ingredient labels. Offline Database: The core ingredient check works instantly without an internet connection. Clear Risk Levels: Understand immediately if an additive is a CRITICAL BAN or a GLOBAL WARNING. ⚠️ Important Disclaimer SafeLabel is designed as an informative tool only.
