About Scanity: Food Ingredient Scan
Read the label in one second, not one minute. Point Scanity at any grocery barcode: it resolves every additive across E-numbers, trade names, and hidden synonyms (block "Red 40" once to catch E129, Allura Red AC, and FD&C Red No. 40 across 452,000+ USDA and Open Food Facts products) and gives you a plain verdict against YOUR blocklist: Safe, Caution, or Avoid. Never an arbitrary 0–100 score, never a sponsored "healthier swap," and no account required. YOUR LIST. YOUR RULES. Other scanner apps grade food using editorial scores where an item full of seed oils or artificial dyes can still pass with a "Good" 75/100 score. Scanity puts you in complete control. If an ingredient is on your blocklist, you are alerted instantly. INTELLIGENT SYNONYM & E-NUMBER RESOLUTION Food manufacturers hide ingredients under technical aliases, numbers, and chemical synonyms. Scanity catches them all: • Red 40 = E129, Allura Red AC, FD&C Red No. 40 • MSG = E621, Monosodium Glutamate, Yeast Extract • Seed Oils = Canola, Soybean, Corn, Sunflower, Safflower, Cottonseed, Grapeseed, Rice Bran • TBHQ = E319, Tertiary Butylhydroquinone • Carrageenan = E407, Irish Moss extract INSTANT 400MS BARCODE SCANNING Built natively from the ground up for grocery aisle speed: • Point camera at any food product barcode. • Instant verdict: Safe, Caution, or Avoid. • Clear highlight on the exact ingredient that triggered the alert. 100% PRIVATE & LOCAL-FIRST • No Account Required: Open the app and start scanning immediately. • No Ads, No Tracking: We never sell your scan habits or personal blocklists to data brokers. • No Sponsored Swaps: We never promote alternative brands that paid for placement. Try Scanity free with a 7-day trial. Available as $19.99/year or $49.99 lifetime unlock.
