Meet Miki โ€” the grumpy cat who reads food labels so you don't have to. Ever picked up a snack and stared at "E621", "E102", or "Sodium benzoate" wondering if it's safe? E-Number Scanner tells you exactly what every additive is, what it does, and whether you should put that package back on the shelf. # HOW IT WORKS 1. Point your camera at any ingredient label 2. The app instantly detects all E-numbers and additive names 3. Get a clear, colour-coded breakdown โ€” no chemistry degree needed # WHAT YOU LEARN ABOUT EACH ADDITIVE โ— Common name (e.g. "MSG" not just "E621") โ— Function โ€” preservative, colouring, emulsifier, flavour enhancer, and more โ— Source โ€” natural, synthetic, plant-based, or animal-derived โ— Regulatory status โ€” approved in EU, UK, Australia, USA, and beyond โ— Safety rating โ€” green, yellow, or red at a glance โ— Safety concerns โ€” flagged clearly if they exist โ— Miki's Take โ€” a witty, snarky verdict straight from the cat's mouth # SAFETY RATINGS AT A GLANCE โ–บ Green โ€” Generally safe โ–บ Yellow/Orange โ€” Use with caution โ–บ Red โ€” Health concerns documented โ–บ Gray โ€” Insufficient data # COVERS 400+ E-NUMBER ADDITIVES E numbers are the official food additive labelling system used across the EU, UK, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, and many more regions โ€” giving this app a far larger global reach than INS-based alternatives. # KEY FEATURES โ—† Scan and identify additives in seconds using your camera โ—† Works 100% offline โ€” no internet needed after install โ—† Scan history with dot-grid safety summary for past results โ—† Sort and filter by safety level, additive type, and more โ—† Covers both E-number codes and additive names (e.g. "carmine", "tartrazine") โ—† Available in 47 languages # PERFECT FOR โ€ฃ Parents checking children's snacks for artificial colours and additives โ€ฃ People with food allergies or sensitivities โ€ฃ Anyone following a vegan, halal, or kosher diet โ€ฃ Health-conscious shoppers who want to know what they're eating โ€ฃ EU, UK, Australian, and Middle Eastern shoppers where E numbers appear on every label # ABOUT MIKI Miki is our grumpy cat mascot. She doesn't sugarcoat things. She'll tell you when something is "Absolutely Not" with full feline disapproval โ€” or give a grudging "Acceptable" when a label passes muster. Her expressions change based on what's in your food: โ–บ Acceptable โ€” Happy Miki โ–บ Okay โ€” Neutral Miki โ–บ Unimpressed โ€” Skeptical Miki โ–บ Absolutely Not โ€” Full Disapproval Learning about food additives has never been this entertaining. # GLOBAL COVERAGE E numbers are used in the European Union (27 countries), the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, and many more regions worldwide. # FULLY OFFLINE All additive data is stored on your device. No account, no subscription, no internet connection required. Your food scans stay private. Download E-Number Scanner and let Miki help you eat a little smarter โ€” one label at a time.
