### 1/5 — Accuracy

*2026-08-07*

This app is not accurate at all. It has said halal on multiple foods that are mushbooth. I ate those foods and I am now trying to find out if it is halal but I can’t because there is no information saying they are halal. Deleting the app. 1 star.

### 1/5 — Pas top

*2026-05-23*

Sur le produit Haribo, c’est marqué gélatine, aucune précision sur le produit et l’application me dit que c’est un produit halal que faire dans ces cas-là

### 1/5 — غير موثوق

*2026-03-13*

بعض المنتجات تحتوي منتجات الخنزير ومكتوب صراحتاً وبشكل واضح ولاكن التطبيق يعطي حلال

**Developer response:** شكرًا لتنبيهك. يوجد مليارات المنتجات الغذائية حول العالم، وكل يوم يتم إصدار منتجات جديدة، ونحن نبذل قصارى جهدنا لتوفير بيانات دقيقة قدر الإمكان لجميع المنتجات.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-09-17*

Extremely useless. I scanned a sausage and the app said it was Halal, but after reading the ingredients, I realized it was actually pork.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the incorrect result. We take mistakes like this very seriously, especially when a product contains pork.

There are billions of food products worldwide, and new or updated products appear every day, so some items may unfortunately be identified incorrectly. We’re continuously working to improve the accuracy of HalalFoodScan.

Please report the sausage product directly inside the app so we can review it and update it with the correct halal status. Your report helps us fix the issue and prevent the same mistake for other users.

Thank you for helping us improve the app.
