Vegan Check: Food Scanner

Shop with less doubt. Scan barcodes, ingredient labels, or food photos to check vegan guidance and spot hidden animal ingredients.

A mystery ingredient shouldn’t send you down a grocery-aisle rabbit hole. Vegan Scanner checks barcodes, ingredient lists, and food photos for animal-derived ingredients, so you can stop guessing and choose with confidence.

Tiny labels, unfamiliar additives, hidden dairy, gelatin, shellac, carmine, lanolin, and “natural flavours” can turn a simple snack into a research project. Vegan Scanner takes that first check off your shoulders before the product goes in your basket.
