About this app

Read any ingredient label, in any language, and see how processed your food is.

Point your camera at the package — Spanish, Japanese, German, Portuguese — and DirektLabel reads the label and scores the product 1 to 10. High means less processed. Low means the ingredient list reads as an industrial formulation.

Every product lands in one of four bands:

🍎 Whole Food (10) — a single ingredient, nothing added
🍏 Minimally Processed (8–9) — basic processing, like plain yogurt or frozen vegetables
🥣 Simple Ingredients (5–7) — a recognizable food plus culinary ingredients like salt, sugar, or oil
🏭 Ultra-Processed (1–4) — formulations built on industrial ingredients and additives

HOW THE SCORE WORKS

Scoring is built on the NOVA classification developed by researchers at the University of São Paulo, and it runs on a deterministic rule table — the same ingredient list always produces the same score. The Formulation Profile shows exactly which marker classes drive a score (added colors, flavorings, emulsifiers, refined sugars, and more), with every contributing ingredient named.

ALLERGENS, EVEN ON LABELS YOU CAN'T READ

Every result summarizes the allergens declared on the label — milk, wheat, soy, and the other major allergens — translated to English, with cross-contact ("may contain") advisories kept separate from declared ingredients. The summary reflects what's declared on the label you captured; always check the package.

WHAT THE SCORE IS NOT

DirektLabel measures processing, not nutrition. A minimally processed food can still be high in sugar, salt, or fat. Vitamins, minerals, preservatives, and antioxidants never affect the score — they're shown for awareness only. This is not medical or nutrition advice, and no listed ingredient should be read as a claim that it is harmful.
