Scan any label

Advanced OCR reads ingredient lists directly from packaging — curved bottles, glossy bags, and everything in between.

Personalized diet profiles

Choose your diet mode from 8 options. Add specific allergens, intolerances, and custom flags. Your profile never leaves your device.

Science-based explanations

Every flagged ingredient comes with a plain-language breakdown: what it is, why it's there, and what it does to your body.

Privacy first

No account required. Your dietary profile never leaves your device. Anonymous usage analytics help us improve the app — no personal data, ever. Your dietary profile is stored locally and never transmitted to any server.

NOVA processing scale

Identifies ultra-processed foods using the scientific NOVA framework, with specific reasons — not arbitrary scores.

Barcode + OCR fallback

Scans barcode first for instant lookup. Falls back to direct OCR analysis when no database match exists. You can also type a UPC barcode manually.

Groceries just got a lot more transparent.

Whether you're managing a food allergy, following a plant-based diet, or just curious about what "modified starch" actually means — DecodeFood gives you the same clinical lens that food scientists use, right in your pocket.

No guesswork. No scare tactics. Just the facts about what's in your cart.

Science-based ingredient analysis

Every ingredient explained by the data, not the marketing.

When DecodeFood flags an ingredient, it tells you exactly why — in plain English, backed by regulatory and scientific sources.

What it is — the actual substance and how it's made
Why it's in there — preservative, thickener, flavoring, filler
What it does — the honest clinical picture for your body
Your call — we give you the facts, you make the decision
Our philosophy

Data, Not Fear.

Most food apps give you a colored score and tell you what to think. We don't. DecodeFood is an objective translation tool — it converts chemical names and processing jargon into plain English so you can make your own informed decision. We don't label foods "good" or "bad." We don't push you toward buying alternatives. We give you the facts, and we trust you with them.

"The expert on your own body is you.
We're just here to decode the label."

Your diet. Your rules. Your data.

From the vegan checking for hidden gelatin to the parent scanning a snack for their peanut-allergic child — DecodeFood works for your specific situation, not a generic average.

Set your profile once. Every scan after that is personalized to exactly what matters to you.
