Food Scanner - PureScan

PureScan is a separate product from MacroChat. Its public store listings describe an ingredient-list scanner for food, beverages, cosmetics, skincare, and everyday products.

Direct answer: use PureScan to capture a readable ingredient list with your camera or image gallery, then review the package alongside the app's ingredient analysis, product rating, and nutrition context. Read the package itself for allergens and current product information.

Published capabilities

Camera or gallery scanning of ingredient lists.
Ingredient categories with explanations, product health score or rating, and nutrition context including calories, fats, sugars, and sodium.
Saved scans and product comparison.
Food and beverages, plus cosmetics, skincare, and everyday products.

Important limits

PureScan is not medical advice, a diagnosis, or a guarantee that a product is appropriate for an allergy, condition, medication, pregnancy, or individual diet. Use the current package label, manufacturer information, and qualified guidance for high-stakes decisions.
