Instantly scan for flagged ingredients using non-profit watchdog & premium grocer standards. Play the "CapziGame" to unearth funny, insightful facts about packaged foods!
That granola bar labeled "natural"? It might contain ingredients that CSPI rates as "avoid" and that Whole Foods won't even sell. Capzicum checks your food labels against the standards that actually matter.
Snap a photo of any ingredient list, choose from your library, or type ingredients manually. Capzicum flags what to watch out for using established standards — no barcode needed.
WHAT WE CHECK AGAINST:
• CSPI (Center for Science in the Public Interest) ratings
• EWG Dirty Dozen food chemicals
• Premium grocer banned lists (Whole Foods, Kroger Simple Truth, and more)
FEATURES:
• Scan labels with your camera, upload photos, or type ingredients
• AI-powered text recognition for accurate readings
• Scan history with saved images
• Detailed explanations for every flagged ingredient
WHO IT'S FOR:
• Parents checking snacks and school lunches
• Anyone switching to cleaner eating
• Shoppers who don't want to Google every ingredient at the store
• People curious about what's actually in their favorite foods
WHY CAPZICUM:
• We don't use a single proprietary score — we show you what real watchdog organizations and premium grocers actually flag
• No barcode needed — works with ANY product, even imports and store brands
• Free to use with no subscription walls for basic scanning

• Play the CapziGame to unearth funny truths about the food industry — learn while you laugh
