Ingredient information, in context
See food additives more clearly
Additive Lens helps you read an ingredient list, identify named additives, and explore plain-language source context. It does not judge an entire food as good or bad.
How it works
1. Photograph the ingredient list
Choose a clear image of the package ingredients in the Android app.
2. Read text on your device
Google ML Kit is intended to recognize ingredient text on the device before matching.
3. Review additive context
See identified additives, concern-level context, and links to the organizations behind the information.
Privacy, plainly stated
Images stay on the device
The intended app flow does not upload ingredient-list photos to our server.
Text is temporary
Recognized OCR text is sent only for the current matching request and is deleted after that request completes or fails.
No scan history
We do not build a persistent history of your ingredient scans.

Information, not a verdict
Additive Lens shares ingredient-list context to support your own judgment. It is not medical advice and does not rate an entire food as good or bad.
