## What is PureDecode?

PureDecode reads the printed ingredient label — no barcode needed — and tells you what's really in your food in seconds.

Point your camera at any ingredient list and instantly get:
- Allergen warnings — set your own allergens and get a bold alert, including "may contain" cross-contamination
- Halal & Vegan indicators
- An A–F additive safety grade with per-ingredient detail
- Blood-sugar (GI) risk for added sugars and high-GI ingredients
- Sodium vs. the WHO daily limit

Why PureDecode is different:
- Reads the LABEL itself with AI — works in ANY language on imported & foreign-language packaging (Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Malay, Vietnamese & more), even products no barcode database has
- All-in-one: allergens, halal, vegan, additives and GI in a single scan
- Private by design: no account needed; we never collect your name, email, or location

Free to start. Optional subscription for unlimited scanning, or pay-as-you-go top-ups — no subscription required.

PureDecode is a guide, not medical advice, and can make mistakes. Always double-check the label and consult a professional about allergies or dietary needs.
