How It Works

From confusing label to
clear answer in seconds

No fear-mongering, no grades pulled from thin air. Just a straightforward look at what’s really in your food and why it’s there.

Point & scan the label

Open ClearIngredient on your phone or tablet and aim the camera at any ingredient list. The label is captured and read for you — no typing, no barcode hunting.

Built for tablet and mobile web. Free members get 5 scans a day.

The ingredients get pulled apart

Every item on the list is separated out and analyzed one by one against science-based sources — additives, preservatives, colors, sweeteners and the rest.

You get an honest breakdown

Each ingredient comes back with a plain-English answer to four questions: what it is, what it was made for, how it is made, and what it does to your body — plus a clear rating.

Make it yours

Add ingredients to your Avoid List, switch on health-goal filters, or look anything up in the Ingredient Dictionary. The more you use it, the sharper it fits how you eat.

Avoid List, health goals and the full Dictionary are premium.

Three signals, honestly applied

Ratings appear only as badges on individual ingredients — never to scare you off a whole product. They’re a starting point for your own judgment.

Safe — clean, well-supported Caution — know the context Concern — worth avoiding
