Food Label Detective

About Food Label Detective

Food Label Detective helps you read food labels and understand food additives more easily.

You can scan a food label with your camera, choose a label photo from your gallery, or search manually for E-codes and additive names such as E330, E120, E160A, or E621.

The app works as a practical food label scanner, E-code checker, and food additive reference tool.

Food Label Detective can help you check:

• Food additive codes and names
• Common usage and purpose
• Halal status when available
• General health notes
• Risk level indicators
• Short descriptions and warnings
• Similar names and aliases

The app uses on-device OCR to read label text from camera or gallery images. Label photos are not uploaded by the app for OCR processing.

Food Label Detective can also synchronize additive database records through its own API service. When offline, basic searches can continue with the local database stored on your device.

This app is useful when you want to quickly look up an ingredient, check an E-code on a package, or better understand common additives used in packaged foods.

Important notice:

Food Label Detective is an independent information tool. It is provided for general guidance only.

The app does not replace product labels, manufacturer statements, official regulations, halal certification bodies, medical advice, legal advice, or professional guidance.

OCR may make mistakes depending on lighting, blur, angle, reflections, or label quality. Before making a final decision, always check the product package, manufacturer information, official sources, certification bodies, and qualified expert guidance when needed.

Food Label Detective is designed to make food labels easier to read and understand.
