Label Truth

A long ingredient list should not leave you with more questions than answers. Label Truth helps you read the small print on food packaging: what an ingredient is, why it may be there, and what deserves a closer look. Look up unfamiliar names and make your own choices with more context. START WITH THE LABEL Scan with your camera, import a photo, or paste the text. Keep the original wording alongside matched ingredients and review the results one by one. Correct recognition errors before saving your list. LOOK UP THE INGREDIENT Search by name, alternative name or E number. Read about common uses, where an ingredient appears, label-reading tips and documented precautions. Entries include sources and their scope, with gaps in the available information made clear. READ THE BACKGROUND Explore short guides and longer articles on topics such as sugars, sweeteners and preservatives. Learn to distinguish an ingredient’s purpose, precautions for particular groups and the circumstances of an actual food product. No single score makes the decision for you. KEEP A USEFUL SHOPPING RECORD Save ingredient lists and follow ingredients you want to keep an eye on. Compare two saved products, see what they share and how they differ, and write down the reasons for your choice. Organize your history and export or import a backup. READ IN YOUR LANGUAGE Available in Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French and German. The built-in reference library works offline, with a wider reading layout on iPad. PLEASE NOTE Text recognition can miss details: always check the physical package. Reference material is for learning about ingredients; it is not a product test, medical diagnosis or personalized dietary advice. For allergies and individual dietary needs, check the package declarations and consult an appropriate professional. Membership purchases are available in the app; see the purchase screen for benefits and pricing.
