How iib works: Scan any food or beverage barcode. Get an instant answer with citations to FDA, USDA, EFSA, and the eCFR.

See both rulebooks. The same ingredient can be banned in the EU and permitted in the US. iib shows you side by side.

Read the Ingredient Facts panel. The same ingredient list, nothing added or removed, one ingredient per line. Readable in seconds.

Never a fear score. No grades, no verdicts, no hot takes. What regulators actually said, then you decide.

Build your pantry. Save products, track scans, and build a smarter pantry over time.

Why iib: Other apps compress your food into one universal score. A score can't be right for a specific person, and it can't be checked. iib shows you what a named regulator decided and links the source. You can't disagree with what the EU said.

Who it's for: Parents, health-conscious shoppers, ingredient researchers, and anyone who has ever wondered why something is allowed here but not somewhere else.
