Insect Scanner is an essential app for anyone who wants to easily identify products with ingredients derived from insects. Scan the barcode of any food item and instantly find out if it contains insects like crickets, mealworms, locusts, cochineal (E120), shellac (E904), insect proteins, or other derivatives hidden under technical names or codes. The app clearly tells you whether the product contains them—or, on the contrary, if it is free from them.

The app analyzes the list of ingredients and automatically highlights any component that may come from insects, even if it’s not clearly indicated. Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, have religious restrictions, allergies, or simply prefer not to consume insects, Insect Scanner helps you make informed decisions without wasting time deciphering complex labels.

In addition to detecting insect-based ingredients, Insect Scanner lets you save your favorite products for easy access during future shopping, and review your scan history to revisit previously analyzed foods.

Its design is fast, intuitive, and accessible to everyone. Just open the app, scan the barcode, and within seconds you'll know whether the product meets your preferences. Perfect for use in supermarkets, organic stores, online shops, or anywhere you buy your food.

Insect Scanner features a vast and constantly updated database with millions of available products. No matter what country you're in—the app adapts and recognizes items from multiple regions. It even identifies ingredients with uncommon names or disguised as additives.

Insect Scanner is more than just a scanner—it’s your ally in conscious eating. It’s useful for families, students, responsible consumers, and anyone who wants full control over what they eat. With just one scan, you can find out if that snack, cookie, drink, or ready-made meal contains ingredients you'd rather avoid.

Don’t let your decisions be swayed by marketing or confusing labels. Insect Scanner offers clarity, speed, and peace of mind. Download it today and discover what you're really eating. ## Rankings - #822,576 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID` - `android.permission.ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES` - `com.walapps.insectscanner.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Insect Scan - Food Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.kevastudio.insectscan) — 7,854 users - [Food Bug Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.jrann.scanner) — 932 users - [Insect Food Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.maba.insektenscanner) — 466,758 users, 3.92 / 5 - [Insect Detector App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.miravainapps.insectscannerapp) — 344 users - [Food Insect Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.alaran.insektenscanner) — 60,394 users, 3.80 / 5 - [Insekten Scanner Pro](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.dataworks.qrcode.insect) — 64 users - [Insekten Warn App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.polk.insektenwarnung) — 16,261 users - [Food-Bugs Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.hidynamicapp.productscan) — 149 users - [Food Insects Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.app.mrschak.foodInsectTracker.pro) — 8 users - [Food Insects Tracker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.app.mrschak.foodInsectTracker.free) — 2,335 users - [BugOff: Insect Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/nl.webpearl.insectenscanner) — 13 users - [Insects Stop](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.insects.stop) — 43,808 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.walapps.insectscanner)
