Etqa helps you make smarter, more informed choices about the packaged food you buy and eat. Simply scan a product barcode to discover what’s inside and understand the information that matters to you—from Halal status and ingredient classifications to allergens, dietary preferences, nutrition quality, recalls, and food safety concerns. Whether you're grocery shopping, traveling, comparing products, or trying something new, Etqa gives you a clearer picture of what you're buying. KEY FEATURES * Barcode Scanner — Scan packaged food products and instantly access available product and ingredient information. * AI-Powered Ingredient Analysis — Advanced AI analyzes ingredients using a comprehensive database of 8,000+ ingredients to help explain what they are and how they may affect your dietary choices. * Halal, Haram & Mashbooh — See ingredients classified as Halal, Haram, or Mashbooh (doubtful), with explanations based on Islamic dietary guidelines and differing scholarly perspectives. * Food Quality Insights — Go beyond ingredients with information designed to help you better understand the overall quality of a product. * Nutrition Information — Review nutritional information and nutrition-quality indicators to help compare products and make more informed choices. * Allergens & Dietary Preferences — Identify common allergens and check products against your personal dietary preferences and requirements. * Recall & Safety Alerts — Stay informed about available food recalls and ingredients or products associated with safety concerns. * Detailed Ingredient Breakdown — Explore individual ingredients with clear explanations instead of trying to decode complicated food labels on your own. * Islamic Dietary Insights — Understand how different schools of thought (madhabs) may view certain ingredients and processing methods. * Ask Anything — Chat with Etqa's AI to ask questions about ingredients, additives, food quality, nutrition, allergens, or dietary concerns. * Scan History & Favorites — Keep track of products you've scanned and save favorites for quick access later. * Badges & Achievements — Earn badges as you scan products, explore ingredients, and learn more about the food you eat. WHY ETQA? Food labels can be difficult to understand. Ingredients may have unfamiliar names, allergens can be easy to miss, nutrition information can be hard to compare, and a product's Halal status may not always be obvious. Etqa brings this information together in one place, helping you move beyond simply scanning a barcode to actually understanding the product. Etqa is designed for everyone—from Muslims looking for Halal guidance to anyone who wants to make more informed decisions about ingredients, nutrition, allergens, recalls, food quality, and personal dietary preferences. Scan it. Know it. Eat smarter. Etqa provides informational guidance based on ingredient research, available product information, and widely accepted scholarly opinions. It is not a substitute for professional medical, dietary, or religious advice. For definitive religious rulings on specific products, please consult a qualified Islamic scholar.
