What to know

A clearer way to use this check

Use the method that fits the information available, then verify the exact food before making a decision.

1

Scan an ingredient label

Capture the full printed list when packaging is available. This gives the analysis the most direct ingredient information.

2

Take a food photo

Use a meal or package photo as a starting point when there is no readable label, then ask questions and verify before eating.

3

Search by food name

Type a product or food name for a quick overview when the item is not in front of you.

Choose the best input

Label, photo, or name?

Use a complete ingredient label whenever it is available. Photos and product-name checks are helpful starting points when packaging is missing.
