Ingredian Pro: Scan Food Labels

If a healthy diet is important to you, then take a moment to look at a few food ingredient labels at your local grocery store. You'll find dangerous additives such as monosodium glutamate (MSG) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration claims these are "generally recognized as safe", however independent research suggests otherwise. But what about the safety of other additives such as carmine or confectioner's glaze?

Ingredian Pro uses your phone's camera to scan ingredient label text for quickly detecting additives and other potentially harmful chemicals lurking in your food. All detected ingredients are sorted in order by category with web links to provide additional information for each one.

Ingredian Pro can also assist in detecting allergens such as eggs, dairy, fish, nuts, soy and wheat. It also includes various diets such as an Alpha-gal diet to detect ingredients derived from red meat.

Features:
  ✔ Ingredient categories: Allergens, Anti-caking agents, Anti-foaming agents, Bleaching agents, Buffering agents, Colorings, Countries of origin, Emulsifiers, Enzymes, Flavorings, Miscellaneous, Nutrients, Oils, Preservatives, Probiotics, Solvents, Spices/Herbs, Stabilizers & Sweeteners
  ✔ Diets supported: Alpha-gal, Dairy-free, Fish-free, Gluten-free, Nut-free, Vegan & Vegetarian

Love it. Sometimes you have to scan something twice to make sure it reads correctly. Thank you for developing a great app.

New to my alpha-gal allergy, & had been looking for a comprehensive list - but this app is better. I love that I can customize what ingredients I react to. The only thing missing is the ability to scan a screenshot, or some other way to import online ingredient lists.

App doesn't work well for allergens. Product can have "processed in facility that also handles eggs" and then app will say that the product contains eggs. Or if you scan a cereal and mentions calories with milk it then shows that the product contains milk. Actually continued using the app over the last few weeks and found it quite useful. Would give it 5 stars if it had a feature to denote the difference between containing vs processed in facility that handles x allergen product.

My husband has Alpha-Gal and my sister has celiac. Being able to scan and check in a hurry has been a blessing. My only downside is I have often unchecked the boxes with things my hubby can tolerate with his AG such as the sugars and carranegan, but it still hits red and doesn't seem to save.

Needs work-doesn't appear to save allergens ingredients and a diet simultaneously. whenbi go back in to app ibhave to recheck. Plese fix and add Alpha-gal.

I love this app. I use it multiple times a day. Only complaint: my daughter is trying to download the app and has not been successful.

So far, this app has been invaluable for helping me navigate the label reading and helping me to eat safely with my allergy.

This app has helped me greatly, newly diagnosed with Alpha Gal, this app has saved me from countless reactions. Its the best money Ive spent for sure.

Keeps passing vegan diets on items with meat. I select vegan since my daughter is allergic to eggs.

I use this app all the time. I wish it had a feature for a picture that is sent to me.

I have alpha gal and it's hard to find foods that are safe.. another thing that would help a lot of people who have alpha gal is to add a scan medicine.
