## What is Label Lens?

Label Lens scans barcodes and ingredient labels and tells you, instantly, what's worth knowing about.

Point your camera at any packaged food and Label Lens checks the ingredients against a research-backed database of additives, dyes, preservatives, and sweeteners — flagging what's being phased out, banned abroad, or under active scientific scrutiny, with a plain-language reason behind every flag. No jargon, no guessing.

Each scan also shows the processing level (whole food or ultra-processed?) and a quick nutrition snapshot — calories, sugar, saturated fat, and sodium — so you get the full picture, not just an ingredient list.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-09-01

Label mode now works without needing a barcode — just snap a photo of any ingredients label directly. We've also made our ingredient grading stricter across the board: seed and vegetable oils, artificial dyes, and synthetic preservatives and sweeteners are now flagged as Avoid.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-25

No release notes.
