BiteOrNot: Food Label Scanner

BiteOrNot is a food label scanner that helps you check packaged food against your selected allergies, dietary preferences and health-related food restrictions.

Use the barcode scanner to check available product information and get a clear PASS, CHECK or AVOID result. If barcode data is missing or incomplete, use the ingredient scanner to photograph the ingredients list or nutrition label.

CHECK FOOD FOR YOUR NEEDS

BiteOrNot can help you check:

• sugar levels
• salt and sodium
• fat and saturated fat
• ingredients and allergen information
• gluten and wheat
• milk, dairy and lactose
• peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, soy, sesame and other selected allergens
• vegan and vegetarian suitability
• possible allergen traces where data is available

CLEAR RESULTS

PASS – no issue was found for your selected profile

CHECK – important product data is missing, unclear or needs additional attention

AVOID – the product matches an ingredient, allergen, dietary restriction or nutrition limit you selected

BARCODE AND FOOD LABEL SCANNER

Scan a food barcode to retrieve available product information. BiteOrNot checks the ingredients and nutrition data using clear, rule-based checks based on your profile.

When a product is not found or its information is incomplete, scan the food label instead. The app can extract information from ingredient lists and nutrition tables so you can still check the product.

INGREDIENTS IN ENGLISH

Shopping abroad or reading a label in another language? BiteOrNot can translate and normalize available ingredient information into English, helping you understand unfamiliar food packaging.

ALLERGY AND DIET CHECKS

Use BiteOrNot as a food allergy scanner to check available ingredient and trace information against the allergens you select.

You can also check whether available product information matches a vegan or vegetarian diet. Missing or unclear information produces CHECK rather than an unsafe PASS.

SUGAR, SALT AND FAT CHECKS

Check the available nutrition information for sugar, salt, fat and saturated fat. BiteOrNot can apply conservative limits based on selected profile options such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular concerns or high cholesterol.
