Features & Capabilities

Insects in your food? With Insect Scanner you'll know in seconds whether a product contains insect-based ingredients – without opening the package or doing tedious research.

HOW IT WORKS • Scan the barcode: the product is instantly checked against a database of millions of foods worldwide. • No barcode? Just photograph the ingredient list – the AI reads the text and checks it directly (label scan).

CLEAR RESULT AT A GLANCE • Green: no insect-based ingredients found • Red: contains insect ingredients • Yellow: contains substances you flagged yourself

It detects carmine/cochineal (E120), shellac (E904) and beeswax (E901), as well as products containing insect flour such as house cricket, mealworm or migratory locust.

MORE THAN JUST SCANNING • Your own watchlist: add your own ingredients or E-numbers (e.g. gelatin, palm oil) and get an extra warning. • Search the database – with insect status shown right in every result. • History & favorites: every scan saved, favorite products marked. • Local backup & export of your data. • Nutrition facts, Nutri-Score, NOVA & Eco-Score at a glance. • Help & FAQ built into the app. • Available in 13 languages.

Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, or simply someone who doesn't want to eat insects – Insect Scanner is always with you while shopping: in the supermarket, the health-food store, or online.

Download today and eat only what you really want.

Don’t if this app works or not or if it was a scam to get us to buy it or what but I downloaded this video because of another video I saw that was scanning yogurt. So I scanned the same yogurt and nothing was found. Could it be that the person I saw that had in there’s was from a another that I’m from I don’t know. But will keep the app just in case

This is awesome! Even though it's mainly for European regions, it works on American products too!
