Myredient tells you what is actually in your food. Scan a product barcode or photograph an ingredient label, and Myredient breaks down every additive and ingredient inside — filtered to the dietary preferences you set. A VERDICT MADE FOR YOU Set your dietary preferences once — vegan, vegetarian, palm-oil-free, added sugar, seed oils, and more — and every scan gives you a personalized verdict: a clear, at-a-glance read on how a product fits what you care about, instead of a wall of unfamiliar chemical names. Myredient points out what to look at; it does not certify that a product fits your diet. WHAT MYREDIENT FLAGS Myredient cross-references each ingredient against a curated database of food additives and E-numbers, plus entries for oils and industrial sweeteners. It surfaces: - Artificial colors such as Red 40, Yellow 5, and titanium dioxide - Preservatives including sodium benzoate, sulfites, nitrites, and parabens - Flavor enhancers and sweeteners such as MSG, aspartame, sucralose, high-fructose corn syrup, and maltodextrin - Emulsifiers and thickeners such as carrageenan and lecithins - Refined seed and hydrogenated oils REGULATED DIFFERENTLY AROUND THE WORLD For each additive, Myredient shows how official regulators treat it — permitted, allowed only under specific conditions (a maximum level or a mandatory warning), or banned — across the United States, European Union, Canada, and Japan. Each status comes straight from the regulators' own registers: the EU additives register (Regulation 1333/2008), the US FDA's Substances Added to Food, Health Canada's permitted-additive lists, and Japan's MHLW lists. Every flag cites its source — you see the facts, not a score. ASK A FOLLOW-UP (PRO) Have a question the scan doesn't cover? Open any result and ask in your own words — what an additive is, why it is used, how it fits a specific diet, or what cleaner alternatives exist. Answers are clearly labelled as AI-generated general information, not medical or regulatory advice. SAVED FOR LATER Every scan is kept in your history, so you can revisit a product or compare options without scanning again. HOW IT WORKS 1. Scan a barcode, or photograph the ingredient label with the camera. 2. Myredient identifies the product and parses its ingredient list. 3. Additives and possible preference conflicts are flagged, each with a plain-language explanation of what it is and what it does. PRIVACY Your dietary preferences stay on your device, and ingredient matching runs locally. Product information is retrieved from public food databases including Open Food Facts and USDA. WHO IT IS FOR - Anyone avoiding specific additives, dyes, or preservatives - Parents checking snacks and drinks for artificial colors - People following specific diets such as vegan, vegetarian, or palm-oil-free - Shoppers who want to understand ultra-processed ingredients SUBSCRIPTION Myredient Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription — monthly or annual — that adds AI ingredient summaries and the follow-up questions you can ask about any scan, on top of the free regulatory checks. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions.
