About FoodPurityScanner

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” — Hippocrates

I built FoodPurityScanner after finding myself in grocery aisles staring at ingredient labels full of names I couldn't decipher. With a background in technology, business transformation and problem-solving — not food chemistry — I wanted to make those labels easier to understand.

FoodPurityScanner lets you scan an ingredient label, explains its contents in plain language, and compares relevant additives with regulatory records from the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Japan.

Because food regulations aren't simply “safe” or “unsafe,” it also shows whether ingredients are prohibited, restricted, under review or permitted under specific conditions.

The goal is simple: help you make more informed food choices without fear, hype or guesswork. It's free to use, and when possible, it also helps you find alternatives available where you live.
