Key Features

[Real-time Public Data Analysis]

With a single scan, it simultaneously compares food raw material information from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, information on banned ingredients in imported food products, food recall and sales suspension information, and real-time food information from Food QR codes for the public.

[3-Level Safety Rating Assessment]

By comprehensively matching imported bans, recall and sales suspension history, and allergy cross-comparisons, it intuitively displays a rating of

"Safe (Green) / Caution (Yellow) / Reconfirmation Required (Red)"

The basis for each rating is transparently disclosed along with the confidence score.

Pointing the camera at the barcode automatically recognizes it, and switching to ingredient list OCR mode automatically reads the Korean label text.

In environments where the camera cannot be used, you can analyze the data by manually entering the barcode number and ingredient name.
