Do you know who really owns your favourite brand? Point the camera at a product. Seconds later you see who makes it, which corporation owns the brand, and where it is actually produced. Most people are surprised. THE SHELF DOESN'T LIE – IT JUST DOESN'T TELL YOU EVERYTHING The familiar local brand often belongs to a corporation on another continent. The seal on the pack sometimes certifies the factory, not the product. And the ingredients list tells you what is inside – not where it came from. ProductOrigin makes that visible. In the shop, in seconds, without an account. FIRST THE GLANCE, THEN THE DEPTH The quick check answers the one question on your mind right now: who is behind this? Ten times a day, without buying anything. The in-depth report digs deeper – when you want to know: • Ingredients, matched against your allergen and dietary profile • Seals decoded: what each one checks, and above all what it does not • The supply chain, as far as it is publicly documented • Environment and society – strengths and weaknesses alike, each sourced • Alternatives that do the same job • Current offers, opening the merchant's page directly WE DON'T GIVE SCORES Other apps tell you what is good. We show you what is documented – with source and date. And where the evidence is thin, it says so instead of guessing. The judgement stays with you. That isn't modesty, that's the point. NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. NO TRACKERS. Your scans, notes and favourites stay on your device. Credits are small one-off packs, bought when you need them. No subscription. Download ProductOrigin – and take a look at what is really in your kitchen cupboard.
