About this app

Ever stared at a food label and had no idea what you were reading?
Modern food labels are packed with chemical names, industrial additives, and ingredient aliases designed to confuse. DecodeFood cuts through it all — translating every ingredient into plain English, so you always know exactly what you're eating.
No colored scores. No scare tactics. No telling you what to think. Just clear, honest answers about what's in your food.

🔍 SCAN ANY WAY YOU WANT
─────────────────────────────────────
▸ Barcode Scan — Point at any barcode for an instant ingredient lookup across two databases. Millions of products covered.
▸ Camera Capture — Photograph the ingredient list directly from the packaging. Works on curved bottles, glossy bags, and everything in between.
▸ Type It In — No barcode? No problem. Manually enter any ingredient list for instant analysis.
─────────────────────────────────────
🧬 YOUR PERSONAL INGREDIENT EXPERT
─────────────────────────────────────
Every scan gives you a clear verdict — GOOD, CAUTION, or AVOID — based on your personal dietary profile. For every flagged ingredient you get:
▸ What it actually is — in plain English, not chemistry class
▸ Why it's in the product — preservative? thickener? filler?
▸ What the science says — honest and research-backed
Plus, the NOVA processing scale identifies ultra-processed foods with real reasons, not just a warning label.

⚠️ A NOTE ON SAFETY
─────────────────────────────────────
DecodeFood analyzes the Ingredients List only — not "May Contain" or cross-contamination warnings. Always read the full physical label if you have a severe food allergy. DecodeFood is an informational tool, not a medical device or certified allergen detector.
