About this app

🐱 The grumpy cat food additive scanner that tells it like it is.

Confused by ingredient labels full of E-numbers and chemical names? E-Number Scanner decodes every additive on the label — telling you what it is, what it does, where it comes from, and whether it belongs in your body.

No fluff. No jargon. Just straight talk from a very opinionated cat.

─────────────────────────
📷 SCAN IN SECONDS
─────────────────────────
Point your camera at any food ingredient label. The app reads the text, finds every E-number and additive name, and gives you a colour-coded safety breakdown — instantly.

No internet required. Everything works offline.

─────────────────────────
🔍 FULL ADDITIVE PROFILE
─────────────────────────
For each additive, you get:
✔ Common name (e.g. "MSG" instead of "E621")
✔ Function — preservative, colouring, emulsifier, sweetener, and more
✔ Source — natural, synthetic, plant-based, or animal-derived
✔ Safety rating — green, yellow, red, or gray
✔ Regulatory status — EU, UK, Australia, USA & more
✔ Safety concerns — clearly flagged
✔ Miki's Take — snarky verdict included

─────────────────────────
🟢 SAFETY COLOUR CODE
─────────────────────────
🟢 Green — Generally safe
🟡 Yellow/Orange — Use with caution
🔴 Red — Health concerns documented
⚫ Gray — Data insufficient

😾 MEET MIKI
─────────────────────────
Miki is our grumpy cat mascot who gives her verdict on every scan. She holds a magnifying glass over ingredient labels and does NOT hold back her opinions.

😸 Acceptable — she's mildly pleased
😐 Okay — a shrug from the cat
😒 Unimpressed — side-eye activated
😾 Absolutely Not — full feline disapproval

Her speech bubble delivers a snarky comment on each additive. She makes food safety actually fun.
