[About Halal Lens]

Please refer to the following: https://www.halalgourmet.jp/halal-lens-criteria

[Our Vision for Halal Lens]
We developed this feature to help Muslims staying in Japan access more Japanese products and expand their choices.  
Please enjoy your stay in Japan by utilizing the camera function.  
Non-Muslims can also use it to find products to enjoy together with Muslim friends, creating shared enjoyable experiences.  
We hope it will also be useful for restaurant menu development and selecting souvenirs for Muslim friends.  
Through this feature, we wish to bring the world closer to a future where people from all over can enjoy meals at one table.

About Camera Analysis 
The camera function's analysis uses judgment data from our proprietary ingredient database.  
We retrieve product information from JAN codes and compare registered ingredients with our latest database.  
Since ingredients may have changed since registration, we recommend taking photos of ingredients listed on product packages for more accurate analysis.  
For ingredients not registered in our database, AI analysis is performed.  
Unregistered ingredient data is regularly verified by humans and added to the database.  
While AI is used for text analysis of photographed ingredient lists, final determinations use both human verification and AI, so judgments are not completely infallible.  
We cannot fully guarantee the accuracy of analysis results and bear no responsibility for these results. Thank you for your understanding.

Regarding Incorrect Analyses 
Please report any incorrect analyses so we can regularly update our ingredient database to strive for more accurate determinations.
