About Labemiru - Japan food labels
Labemiru makes it easy to understand what's really inside Japanese food and cosmetics — just scan the barcode. No more squinting at the fine print on the back of the package: see what a product contains at a glance. ■ Just scan the barcode Point your camera at the barcode on the package, and Labemiru shows the full ingredient list along with a plain-language explanation of each one. ■ Highlight the ingredients you care about — by color Based on your settings, Labemiru color-codes the ingredients that matter to you. • Additive concern level in 3 tiers (safe / caution / high concern) — additive-free products stand out at a glance • Sugars and sweeteners highlighted — including sugars hidden inside compound ingredient names • Allergens (all 28 items designated in Japan) • Vegetarian & vegan suitability • Other ingredients you may watch for: gluten, purines, potassium, salt, saturated fat, and umami seasoning (MSG) ■ A "Health Score" from the ingredients Using the ingredient list, Labemiru calculates a health score (0–100) for the product right on your device — based on additives, sugar, salt, umami seasoning (MSG), fat, and more. You can also see exactly why a product got its score. ■ Tap any ingredient for details Ingredients are organized by category. Tap one to learn what it is, why it's used, and whether there are any health concerns — explained clearly, with as little jargon as possible. Many ingredients include citations to academic papers and public-health authorities. ■ Not just food For cosmetics and everyday goods, see free-from information such as fragrance, parabens, and silicones. ■ Tailored to you Choose your dietary preferences and the ingredients you'd like to avoid when you first open the app, and the information most relevant to you is shown first from then on. You can change your settings anytime. ■ Privacy first We don't collect location or contacts. No ads, no third-party tracking. Scanning a barcode from a saved photo is processed entirely on your device — images are never sent to a server. ■ A database we build together For products not yet in the database, send us a photo via LINE and we'll add them. With everyone's help, the database keeps growing. * This app is intended to provide reference information only and is not medical or nutritional advice. For any final decision related to allergies or health, always check the product packaging and consult a professional. * Alcoholic beverages are out of scope. ――― Supporter (Subscription) ――― Labemiru Supporter is an auto-renewing subscription that unlocks unlimited scans, cross-device sync of saved products, manual barcode search, scanning from saved photos, a choice of scan sounds, and app themes. • Supporter (Monthly): ¥300 / month • Supporter (Yearly): ¥3,000 / year Payment will be charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
