## Description

Meet Miki — the grumpy cat who reads food labels so you don't have to.

Ever picked up a snack and stared at "E621", "E102", or "Sodium benzoate" wondering if it's safe? E-Number Scanner tells you exactly what every additive is, what it does, and whether you should put that package back on the shelf.

# HOW IT WORKS

1. Point your camera at any ingredient label
2. The app instantly detects all E-numbers and additive names
3. Get a clear, colour-coded breakdown — no chemistry degree needed

# WHAT YOU LEARN ABOUT EACH ADDITIVE

● Common name (e.g. "MSG" not just "E621")
● Function — preservative, colouring, emulsifier, flavour enhancer, and more
● Source — natural, synthetic, plant-based, or animal-derived
● Regulatory status — approved in EU, UK, Australia, USA, and beyond
● Safety rating — green, yellow, or red at a glance
● Safety concerns — flagged clearly if they exist
● Miki's Take — a witty, snarky verdict straight from the cat's mouth

# SAFETY RATINGS AT A GLANCE

► Green — Generally safe
► Yellow/Orange — Use with caution
► Red — Health concerns documented
► Gray — Insufficient data

# COVERS 400+ E-NUMBER ADDITIVES

E numbers are the official food additive labelling system used across the EU, UK, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, and many more regions — giving this app a far larger global reach than INS-based alternatives.

# KEY FEATURES

◆ Scan and identify additives in seconds using your camera
◆ Works 100% offline — no internet needed after install
◆ Scan history with dot-grid safety summary for past results
◆ Sort and filter by safety level, additive type, and more
◆ Covers both E-number codes and additive names (e.g. "carmine", "tartrazine")
◆ Available in 47 languages

# PERFECT FOR

‣ Parents checking children's snacks for artificial colours and additives
‣ People with food allergies or sensitivities
‣ Anyone following a vegan, halal, or kosher diet
‣ Health-conscious shoppers who want to know what they're eating
‣ EU, UK, Australian, and Middle Eastern shoppers where E numbers appear on every label

# ABOUT MIKI

Miki is our grumpy cat mascot. She doesn't sugarcoat things. She'll tell you when something is "Absolutely Not" with full feline disapproval — or give a grudging "Acceptable" when a label passes muster. Her expressions change based on what's in your food:

► Acceptable — Happy Miki
► Okay — Neutral Miki
► Unimpressed — Skeptical Miki
► Absolutely Not — Full Disapproval

Learning about food additives has never been this entertaining.

# GLOBAL COVERAGE

E numbers are used in the European Union (27 countries), the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, and many more regions worldwide.

# FULLY OFFLINE

All additive data is stored on your device. No account, no subscription, no internet connection required. Your food scans stay private.

Download E-Number Scanner and let Miki help you eat a little smarter — one label at a time.
