Insekten Checker: Scan EAN Codes for Food Additives and Insects
Insekten Checker, or the Insect Checker app, is a paid tool designed to help users determine the presence of additives or insects in food products. With its EAN code scanner, this app caters to grocery shoppers of all ages and technical levels, offering a seamless experience even offline. By toggling sliders in the settings, users can check for specific insects or additives in items, making it a valuable tool for those concerned about food safety.
The app boasts a comprehensive database of food products, allowing users to scan EAN codes to identify any insects or additives present in items. While it primarily displays pending and EU-approved insects, users can submit images of ingredients lists for analysis. Newly created or customized food items undergo editorial review before being added to the database, ensuring credibility. Regular database updates keep users informed of any changes, although it's worth noting that the app operates solely in German.
