Food Additives Checker
Scan E-Numbers & Chemicals
Identify artificial colors, sweeteners, preservatives, and E-numbers in packaged foods. Make informed choices about what you eat.
How Additive Detection Works
Scan Barcode: Point your camera at any product barcode. We pull the official ingredient list from product databases.
AI Analysis: Our system scans ingredients for E-numbers (E100-E1999), artificial colors, sweeteners, preservatives, and flavor enhancers.
Risk Flagging: Each additive is flagged by type and potential concern level based on research from EFSA, FDA, and WHO guidelines.
