## What is AvoidAdditives Food Scanner?

Do you really know what's in your food? AvoidAdditives helps you read labels, identify additives and make informed choices in seconds.

TWO WAYS TO SCAN
- Barcode scanner: check a product in our database.
- Photo ingredient scanner: snap the label and detect additives, preservatives, colorings, sweeteners and flavor enhancers.
No more fine print.

A CLEAR VERDICT
See whether a product fits your profile, which alerts are triggered and the reason behind each one. Your scan history is always one tap away.

PERSONAL PROFILE & ALERTS
- Vegan, vegetarian or mindful profiles.
- Custom alerts by E number or keyword: palm oil, MSG, sweeteners, colorings and more.
The app doesn't decide for you — it gives you clear information so you can choose.

ADDITIVES & E NUMBERS ENCYCLOPEDIA
