E/Numbers

About

E-numbers tells you at a glance whether a product is safe. Scan a product's barcode, or snap a photo of the ingredient list, and the app automatically recognizes every E-number in it — with clear color-coding: green (no concern), yellow (limit use), red (avoid where possible), or black (banned in the EU). What you get: • Barcode scanner — point your camera at a product and see its E-numbers instantly • Label scanner — no barcode in our database? Just scan the ingredient list instead • A complete database of 480+ E-numbers, with origin (natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic), category, and a safety score • Documented cancer-risk warnings shown where they apply (IARC/EFSA classifications) • Search by name, E-number, or the common US/FDA name (e.g. "Red 40" finds E129) — genuinely useful in the US too, where E-numbers never appear on labels • Save scan results to find them again later • Available in 13 languages, switchable right in the app • No account, no tracking, no ads Whether you're avoiding certain additives for yourself, your kids, or you're just curious what's really in your food: E-numbers gives you a clear answer in seconds.
