## What is Japalens?

Can't read a Japanese label? Scan it. Japalens tells you what a product is, translates the ingredients, flags the allergens and diet concerns you care about, and converts the price to your currency.

- Scan the barcode for an instant answer, or photograph the package
- 29 allergens, plus Halal / Vegetarian / Vegan / Kosher
- Only what the label actually says. We never guess.
- If the label can't be read, we say "undetermined" instead of guessing
- Price converted at a rate you set

This is an aid, not a guarantee. Always check the actual package.
