## What is Halal Food Scanner?

Know if a product is halal before it goes in the basket. Point your camera at the barcode — or straight at the ingredients list — and get a clear answer in seconds.

No account. No typing. No menus to learn. The camera is the app.

WE SAY SO WHEN WE'RE NOT SURE

Other scanners guess. That's how pork gelatin ends up marked halal. You get four honest answers here, not two:

HALAL
Every ingredient we could check is permissible.

HARAM
Contains something that isn't. We name the ingredient and explain why — like cochineal (E120), a red colouring made from insects.

UNCERTAIN
An ingredient could be plant or animal and the label doesn't say. We flag it and tell you what to check next.

NOT CHECKED
The product isn't in our records yet, or the label wouldn't read cleanly. We say so plainly. A gap is never shown as a pass.

WHERE THE VERDICT COMES FROM

The camera only extracts ingredient names. The ruling itself comes from a sourced, auditable reference table — E numbers and common ingredients, cross-referenced against bodies like IFANCA and the European Halal Certification Institute. Never an AI's best guess.
