FoodProfile helps you understand what's in your food — before you buy it. Scan a barcode, point the camera at an ingredient label, or paste a list manually. FoodProfile instantly checks every ingredient against your personal rules and flags anything you want to avoid. SCAN THREE WAYS • Barcode scanner — looks up products from Open Food Facts and analyses the ingredient list • Camera scan — point at any ingredient text and let on-device OCR read it for you • Manual entry — paste or type an ingredient list for immediate analysis MULTILINGUAL LABEL SCANNING The camera scan reads ingredient labels in Norwegian, English, Swedish, Danish, German, and Thai. Scan a label in any of these languages and FoodProfile checks it against your rules. The app interface is available in English and Norwegian. NUTRITION AT A GLANCE Barcode scans and scanned labels show a compact nutrition summary — net carbs, sugar, salt, protein and energy per 100 g. See at a glance whether a product is high in sugar or salt, and set your own sugar and net-carb limits per profile. When a limit cannot be checked with the available data, FoodProfile says so instead of showing a pass. PROFILES FOR DIFFERENT NEEDS Create profiles with their own rules — one that avoids gluten, one for lactose, one that watches for ultra-processed additives. Choose one or more profiles before you scan, and FoodProfile shows the result for each. FOODPROFILE RULE PACKAGES 81 rules across five ready-to-use packages covering the most common food concerns: • Gluten — wheat, rye, barley, oats, spelt, kamut, malt, seitan, triticale, farro and more • Lactose — milk, cream, whey, casein, butter, cheese, yogurt, kefir and more • Added sugars — sucrose, glucose, fructose, HFCS, honey, agave, coconut sugar, caramel and more • Sweeteners — aspartame (E951), sucralose (E955), acesulfame K (E950), stevia (E960), all sugar alcohols and more • Ultra-processed indicators — emulsifiers, modified starches, artificial colours (E102–E129), preservatives (E202–E250), BHA/BHT, titanium dioxide (E171) and more E-numbers are recognised on all label languages — scan a label in any language and FoodProfile still catches the E-number. BUILT WITH PRIVACY IN MIND Your profiles, rules and personal settings stay on your device. No account, no cloud sync and no scan history. When you scan a barcode, product information is retrieved from Open Food Facts (non-profit, open data) — only the barcode is sent, not your profiles or rules. If you draft a rule package with a cloud AI provider, the description you type is sent directly to that provider with your own API key. NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE FoodProfile flags ingredients that match the rules you select. It does not certify any product as safe. If you have a severe allergy, always read the label yourself.
