Food label tools
Two free tools that run in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored.
E number lookup
Search 99 additives by code, name, or the food they turn up in. Shows what each one does and whether it comes from a plant, a mineral, a lab, or an animal.
Best when you have one code in front of you, like E471 or E621.
Open e number lookupIngredient list checker
Paste a whole ingredient list and get the allergens, the sugar under other names, the fats, and the additives pulled out and explained.
Best when you want the whole back of the pack read at once.

Reading a pack while you shop
These tools suit a kitchen table. In a shop, LabelWise, formerly SafeChoice, scans the label with the camera and explains the ingredients, additives, and score without any typing.
