My Food Checker is a cutting-edge app that allows you to scan barcodes on food products to access detailed information on ingredients, allergens, and calories. We aim to help you make informed food choices by providing transparency and clarity about what’s in your food.
Our app uses advanced scanning technology to read the barcode on a food product. Once scanned, the app retrieves and displays a comprehensive list of ingredients and relevant information, such as allergens and calories, helping you make better choices.
The app requires an internet connection to access ingredient information and perform barcode scans. However, once you have scanned and saved data, you can access it offline through the app’s history feature.
If you find incorrect data, please use the 'Report Issue' feature in the app. Our team will review and correct it promptly.
Our app can scan products from various countries. However, the availability of detailed ingredient information may vary based on location.
