FAT App - Meat Label Scanner
Meat Label Transparency
Only for iPhone
Free
iPhone
Scan any meat or seafood label and see what it actually discloses — feed, welfare, processor enforcement history, and 12 more transparency categories.
Do you know what's actually in your meat, poultry, and seafood? The FAT App — Farm Animal Transparency — puts the truth about your food right in your pocket.
Point your camera at any label and get instant, plain-English analysis of the certifications, claims, and standards behind what you're buying. "Grass-Fed." "Humanely Raised." "Wild-Caught." We cut through the marketing language and tell you what those labels actually mean — and what they don't.
What the FAT App does:
Scan meat, poultry, and seafood labels instantly with your camera
Decode certification claims and score their credibility
Check USDA and FDA inspection standards for domestic and imported fish
Explore how imported seafood is regulated from foreign farm to U.S. retail
Investigate meat processors for USDA enforcement violations and whether their suppliers are in violation of environmental laws
Learn about chemical residue policies, country-of-origin rules, and more
Build your knowledge through the FAT Research Library
Why it matters:
The U.S. imports billions of pounds of seafood every year. Nearly 99% of shipments enter without physical inspection. Labeling exemptions mean restaurants and processed foods carry no origin disclosure at all. The FAT App is built on government data, GAO findings, and peer-reviewed research — so you can make informed choices every time you shop.
Transparency isn't a trend. It's your right.
WHO MADE THIS
FAT App is built by Farm Animal Transparency, an independent research project dedicated to making meat production practices more visible to consumers. FAT does not rate products, endorse brands, or certify claims. It provides information so you can decide for yourself.

Ratings & Reviews
Fixed an issue where scanning multiple label panels (front, back, side) saved only the first photo to History. All scanned panels are now saved together and viewable as a set.
