## What is Halal Food List & Scanner?

"Is this food halal or haram?" If you read the label before you buy, this app was built for you. Look it up in the food list, or scan it with your camera.

Halal Food List & Scanner is one of the most complete halal food references there is: over 1,000 foods marked Halal, Doubtful (Mashbooh), or Haram, each with a plain-language explanation of why. No account, no ads.


SCAN ANY FOOD OR LABEL WITH YOUR CAMERA

Not sure if a product is halal? Point your camera at a cooked meal, a single ingredient, a restaurant dish, or a packaged food label. The scanner identifies the food, reads the ingredients, and tells you whether it is Halal, Doubtful, or Haram, with a short explanation. Every scan is saved to your history with its photo.


HALAL, DOUBTFUL, OR HARAM: A CLEAR VERDICT FOR EVERY FOOD

Every food carries one of three clear verdicts:

  - Halal: permitted in its basic, unprocessed form
  - Doubtful (Mashbooh): depends on the source, ingredients, or certification, so check for a halal mark
  - Haram: forbidden, such as pork and its by-products or alcohol

The app flags the concerns that matter: pork, bacon, ham, lard, and gelatin; alcohol, wine, and intoxicants; blood; and meat that needs proper (zabiha / dhabihah) slaughter or certification.


KNOW THE HIDDEN INGREDIENTS AND E-NUMBERS

Many products hide animal-derived or alcohol-based ingredients. The app helps you spot the usual suspects and why they matter:

  - Gelatin (E441): often pork-derived unless certified
  - Carmine or cochineal (E120): a red color made from insects
  - Shellac (E904) and L-cysteine (E920): common in candy and bread
  - Mono- and diglycerides (E471) and other emulsifiers
  - Rennet, pepsin, and enzymes in cheese
  - Lard, tallow, whey, glycerin, and animal fats


ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS MUSLIMS ASK MOST

Is gelatin halal? Is cheese halal? Is vanilla extract halal? Is shrimp or shellfish halal? Are marshmallows, gummy candy, or jelly halal? This app answers these and thousands more, and where the ruling depends on your school of thought (Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali, or Ja'fari), it says so.


BROWSE BY CATEGORY OR FILTER BY STATUS

Browse foods by category: proteins, dairy, vegetables, fruits, fish and seafood, grains and starches, beverages, snacks and sweets, condiments and sauces, nuts and seeds, fats and oils, legumes, seasonings, and more. Filter by Halal, Doubtful, or Haram. Search is instant across every food.
