Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Know what’s really in your food — instantly.

HOW IT WORKS
Simply scan any ingredient label.
DirektLabel reads, translates, and analyzes ingredients using the NOVA food classification system — the same framework used by nutrition researchers.
You'll instantly see:
-How processed your food is
-Which ingredients may be concerning
-How complex the formulation is
UNDERSTAND YOUR SCORE
9–10: Whole Food — Single ingredient, nothing added
7–8: Minimally Processed — Simple preparation like freezing or roasting
4–6: Processed — Recognizable food with added salt, oil, or sugar
1–3: Ultra-Processed — Industrial formulations with additives and flavor systems
SPOT PROCESSING CONCERNS
Quickly identify common ultra-processed food ingredients:
-Artificial colors (Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1)
-Preservatives (BHA, BHT, TBHQ, sodium nitrite)
-Refined sugars and sweeteners
-Industrial oils and hydrogenated fats
-Flavor additives and "natural flavors"
-Texture modifiers and stabilizers
Each ingredient is clearly explained with severity levels so you know what matters.
SEE HOW ENGINEERED YOUR FOOD IS
Formulation Profile shows how complex a product's ingredients are based on added processing elements.
It reflects how engineered a product is — not just what ingredients it contains.
-Simple — Minimal added ingredients
-Moderate — Some processing elements

WHY PROCESSING MATTERS
