Pro Tips For Playing The App Insect Food Scanner

Insect Scanner is the essential helper for everyone who wants to make sure their food is free from insect-based ingredients. In seconds you'll know whether a product contains insects – without opening the package or doing tedious research.

HOW IT WORKS
• Scan the barcode: the product is instantly checked against a database of millions of foods worldwide.
• No barcode? Just photograph the ingredient list – the AI reads the text and checks it directly (label scan).

CLEAR RESULT AT A GLANCE
• Green: no insect-based ingredients found
• Red: contains insect ingredients
• Yellow: contains substances you flagged yourself

It detects carmine/cochineal (E120), shellac (E904) and beeswax (E901), as well as products containing insect flour such as house cricket, mealworm or migratory locust.

MORE THAN JUST SCANNING
• Your own watchlist: add your own ingredients or E-numbers (e.g. gelatin, palm oil) and get an extra warning.
• Search the database – with insect status shown right in every result.
• History & favorites: every scan saved, favorite products marked.
• Local backup & export of your data.
• Nutrition facts, Nutri-Score, NOVA & Eco-Score at a glance.
• Help & FAQ built into the app.
• Available in 13 languages.

The interface is simple and intuitive – anyone can use it right away. Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, or simply someone who doesn't want to eat insects: Insect Scanner is always by your side while shopping – in the supermarket, the health-food store, or online.

Thank you so much! That's exactly what I aimed for – giving you full transparency about insect ingredients so you can make informed decisions. I'm glad the app is helping you!

At first, I didn't know if this would work in the US but wanted to try it anyway and downloaded it; YES, it DOES work in the US and on US products. The app scans the barcode and gives you the name of the product and if it contains insects or not. I would like the app maker to have one for foods now using "Lab-Grown" & "3-D" products. Hope It Comes Soon !!!

It is a fictional app. I scanned a product which states that it has cochineal bugs as colouring and the app shows: no bugs! If the developers didn't bother to include cochineal in the list of insects, then it's a rubbish app. I recommend Yuka app which tells you about insects including cochineal and about many other things and also can recommend an alternative product.
