🐱 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.

😾 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.
