Why Ingre

Catalogs miss the product in your hand.

A barcode lookup only works for products already in a catalog. Ingre needs no barcode: take a photo of the ingredient list.

Ingre starts with the label. It reads the printed ingredients on food, beauty, and personal care, the same list you would read under the store lights.

  1. 01

    Photograph the ingredients

    Open the camera on the printed list. The words on the package, not the barcode.

  2. 02

    Read the regulatory notes

    Ingre matches each name to published regulatory sources and shows what regulators have published about it.

  3. 03

    Open the source

    Notes point to the sources they came from, so you can read them yourself.

Regulatory status

Notes from regulators.

Each note shows what a regulator published about an ingredient, with a source you can open. Ingre does not rate products.

Regulatory notes

Ingredients with a regulator record in Ingre's sources. Open each one to read the source.

No notes found

No regulator record found in Ingre's sources for the ingredients read. Check the label and the manufacturer.

Unconfirmed

No listed ingredient was confirmed in this read. That does not mean there are no regulatory notes: the on-device read can miss ingredients.

What stays on the phone

Your photos stay with you.

Label photos remain on the phone unless you choose an optional extra-help feature. A few free scans to start. Notes link to their sources, so you do not have to take our word for it.
