About this app

Read any food label in seconds. DecodeFood is a food label scanner and ingredient checker for people who want to know what an additive is, why it is in the product, and what the research says, without a red-to-green score telling them what to think.

No account. No ads. Your diet profile never leaves your phone.

SCAN IT YOUR WAY
- Barcode scanner: look up millions of products across two ingredient databases.
- Camera capture: photograph the ingredient list on a curved bottle or glossy bag. Handy when a product is missing from the databases.
- Type it in: enter any ingredient list by hand.

ONE VERDICT, EVERY REASON
Each scan comes back GOOD, CAUTION or AVOID for your diet. Tap any flagged ingredient to see:
- What it is, in plain English
- Why it is in the product: preservative, thickener, filler
- What the research says, without the drama

The NOVA scale shows which products are ultra-processed and why.

BUILT FOR YOUR DIET
Vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, soy-free or omnivore. Add your allergens, intolerances and any ingredient you want to avoid. Strict Mode flags anything that matches, even loosely.

YOUR FOOD REPORT
The more you scan, the clearer your habits get: your Clean Rate, how your cart splits across GOOD, CAUTION and AVOID, your NOVA processing levels compared with WHO guidelines, the additives that keep coming back, and your clean staples. A daily streak keeps it going.

INDEPENDENT AND PRIVATE
- No ads, no sponsored results, no selling data
- Works without signing up
- Camera images are never saved or sent

FREE AND PREMIUM
Free: 5 scans a day with Omnivore and Vegetarian modes.
Premium: unlimited scans, all 8 diet modes, deep science notes, full history and Food Report, Strict Mode and the full allergen profile.

IMPORTANT
DecodeFood reads the ingredients list only. It does not check "May Contain" or cross-contamination warnings. With a severe allergy, always read the physical label. DecodeFood is an information tool, not a medical device or certified allergen detector.
