## What is IngrediCheck?

Tired of squinting at tiny ingredient labels and wondering what "L-Cysteine" or "Shellac" actually is?

  IngrediCheck is your ultimate grocery shopping companion, designed to give you an instant verdict on whether a
  product fits your vegetarian lifestyle. Whether you are a lifelong vegetarian, transitioning to a plant-based
  diet, or shopping for a friend, IngrediCheck takes the guesswork out of the grocery aisle.

  HOW IT WORKS
   1. Scan the Barcode: Get instant data on millions of products via our global food database.
   2. Scan the Label (OCR): Product doesn't have a barcode? No problem. Point your camera at the ingredient list,
      and our advanced text recognition (OCR) will analyze it for you in seconds.
   3. Get the Verdict: Receive a clear  (Vegetarian),  (Non-Vegetarian), or  (Uncertain)
      status.

  KEY FEATURES
   * Dual-Mode Scanning: Seamlessly switch between barcode scanning and label text analysis.
   * Deep Ingredient Analysis: We don't just look for "meat." We check for hidden animal derivatives, additives,
     and complex E-numbers.
   * Personalized Preferences: Customize your profile to flag specific allergens or ingredients you want to avoid.
   * Scan History: Easily revisit your recently scanned items for quick reference later.
   * Privacy First: We believe in your privacy. Your scans are processed locally and securely.

  PERFECT FOR:
   * Vegetarians & Vegans: Identify animal-derived ingredients hidden under chemical names.
   * Allergy Awareness: Flag potential cross-contamination or specific animal by-products.
   * New Plant-Based Eaters: Learn which common additives are actually animal-based.
