## What is AddiChecker?

AddiChecker instantly tells you what's really in your food.

Scan any product barcode or photograph an ingredient label -- AddiChecker cross-references every detected additive against data from IARC, JECFA, EWG, and the EU's EFSA, then rates each one from A (extreme risk) to F (safe).

KEY FEATURES

- Barcode Scanner
Point at any food product for instant additive analysis. Powered by Open Food Facts, the world's largest open food database.

- Label Scanner (OCR)
No barcode? No problem. Photograph the ingredient text and AddiChecker reads and analyzes it automatically.

- A-F Safety Grade
Every additive gets a clear, color-coded risk level so you can understand the risks at a glance -- no chemistry knowledge required.

- Detailed Additive Info
Tap any additive to see its concerns, EU approval status, IARC cancer classification, EWG risk score, and common aliases found on labels.

- Scan History
Your last 500 scans are saved locally on your device, so you can review past results anytime.
