## What is DirektLabel?

No barcode needed. Just point your camera and get answers in seconds.

HOW IT WORKS
Simply scan any ingredient label.
DirektLabel reads, translates, and analyzes ingredients using the NOVA food classification system — the same framework used by nutrition researchers.

You'll instantly see:
-How processed your food is
-Which ingredients may be concerning
-How complex the formulation is

UNDERSTAND YOUR SCORE
9–10: Whole Food — Single ingredient, nothing added
7–8: Minimally Processed — Simple preparation like freezing or roasting
4–6: Processed — Recognizable food with added salt, oil, or sugar
1–3: Ultra-Processed — Industrial formulations with additives and flavor systems

SPOT PROCESSING CONCERNS
Quickly identify common ultra-processed food ingredients:
-Artificial colors (Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1)
-Preservatives (BHA, BHT, TBHQ, sodium nitrite)
-Refined sugars and sweeteners
-Industrial oils and hydrogenated fats
-Flavor additives and "natural flavors"
-Texture modifiers and stabilizers

Each ingredient is clearly explained with severity levels so you know what matters.

SEE HOW ENGINEERED YOUR FOOD IS
Formulation Profile shows how complex a product's ingredients are based on added processing elements.
It reflects how engineered a product is — not just what ingredients it contains.

-Simple — Minimal added ingredients
-Moderate — Some processing elements
-Complex — Multiple additives and processing systems
