Insect Food Scanner
Barcode & Label AI Check
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Insects in your food? With Insect Scanner you'll know in seconds whether a product contains insect-based ingredients – without opening the package or doing tedious research.
HOW IT WORKS
• Scan the barcode: the product is instantly checked against a database of millions of foods worldwide.
• No barcode? Just photograph the ingredient list – the AI reads the text and checks it directly (label scan).
CLEAR RESULT AT A GLANCE
• Green: no insect-based ingredients found
• Red: contains insect ingredients
• Yellow: contains substances you flagged yourself
It detects carmine/cochineal (E120), shellac (E904) and beeswax (E901), as well as products containing insect flour such as house cricket, mealworm or migratory locust.
MORE THAN JUST SCANNING
• Your own watchlist: add your own ingredients or E-numbers (e.g. gelatin, palm oil) and get an extra warning.
• Search the database – with insect status shown right in every result.
• History & favorites: every scan saved, favorite products marked.
• Local backup & export of your data.
• Nutrition facts, Nutri-Score, NOVA & Eco-Score at a glance.
• Help & FAQ built into the app.
• Available in 13 languages.
Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, or simply someone who doesn't want to eat insects – Insect Scanner is always with you while shopping: in the supermarket, the health-food store, or online.
