Ungredients - Food Scanner 1.0.3

The term "Ungredients" refers to artificial food additives that often come with unpronounceable names. This raises an important question: what are these substances, and which ones are considered safe for consumption?

This application allows users to scan barcodes on food products, providing valuable information regarding the legality of artificial additives in various countries worldwide. It prompts users to consider whether they are consuming items deemed "safe" locally but potentially linked to health issues such as ADHD, asthma, or even cancer in other regions.

Interestingly, there is often a lack of consensus among global regulators regarding the safety of certain chemicals. For instance, while lead paint was prohibited in several European nations as early as 1909, the United States did not implement a ban until 1978.

The mission of Ungredients.org is to enhance transparency surrounding the safety of food additives. This tool serves as a resource for individuals seeking to educate themselves about the contents of their food.
