Food Additives: E-Numbers
Halal, vegan & allergen filter
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Food Additives: E-Numbers reads the ingredient list of packaged food for you: which additives are in it, where they come from, and whether they fit the filter you chose. Every result comes with its reason and its source; where nobody can be sure, it says "depends on the source, ask the manufacturer".
BARCODE OR LABEL PHOTO
• Scan the barcode; if the product is listed in Open Food Facts, the ingredients appear right away.
• If the product isn't listed, take a photo of the label; the text is read on your phone, without internet. You can see the recognised text and correct it.
• You can also type the ingredients in by hand.
YOUR FILTERS
• Halal, vegan, vegetarian, allergens and the additives you want to avoid.
• Each result is one of four states: suitable, not suitable, depends on the source (ask the manufacturer), no information. The reason is always visible.
• It does not give rulings on halal: it shows the source of an additive (plant, animal, synthetic, depends on the source) and the basis for it. If a product carries halal certification information, it is shown first.
ADDITIVE ENCYCLOPEDIA
• More than 300 E-numbers: name, function, source, vegan and vegetarian status.
• Authorisation status in the EU and Turkey; restrictions in other countries, including the US and the UK, with sources.
• The acceptable daily intake (ADI) set by EFSA, with a link to the opinion itself.
• The encyclopedia is inside the app and needs no internet connection.
A GUIDE THAT SHOWS ITS SOURCES
• The information is compiled from EU additive legislation (1333/2008, 231/2012), the Turkish Food Codex (Türk Gıda Kodeksi) and EFSA scientific opinions.
• No scores and no guesses; a rule-based assessment with the basis shown on every line.
• If you spot a mistake, report it from the additive page with one tap.
YOUR PRODUCTS AND HISTORY
• Save the products you buy often and keep them with your own note.
• When you change your filter, saved products are assessed again.
• When you switch phones, export a backup file and restore it.
25 LANGUAGES
• Turkish, English and all the official languages of the EU; the label is read in whichever language it is written in.
• Three text size options.
PRIVACY
• No account and no sign-up. Your filters, saved products and history never leave your phone.
• The label photo is read on your phone and is not sent anywhere.
• A barcode lookup goes directly to Open Food Facts.
• Ads in the free version are shown with Google AdMob; your filters and the products you scan are not shared with the ad provider.
FREE AND PREMIUM
• Barcode and label scanning, the allergen filter and the encyclopedia are always free.
• The free version includes 1 profile, 3 unwanted additives and 20 saved products; a small ad appears on the main screens.
• Premium is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: family profiles, unlimited unwanted additives and saved products, the full scan history and an ad-free experience.
