Honest Food — barcode answers with receipts
A privacy-focused barcode scanner that checks food against allergies, diets, and personal avoidance rules, while showing the ingredient-based reasons.
Field notes
The app compares barcode-linked product information with separate rule lists for allergies, diets, and personal preferences, and can evaluate all lists in one scan. It relies on the volunteer-maintained Open Food Facts database, while storing rules, history, and cached product data locally. The page also describes on-device reading of ingredient-list photos and a four-level response system that reserves uncertainty when the available data is incomplete.
