FoodUnmasked
Connected to the global database of 3.2+ million verified foods, decoding chemical additives, unmasking deceptive packaging claims, and calculating real-time European Nutri-Scores backed by peer-reviewed clinical research.
Live Food Package & Label Bio-Scanner
Snap a photo of any grocery packaging, upload an ingredient panel, or test sample labels to expose hidden chemical additives and compute verified Nutri-Scores in real time.

How FoodUnmasked Was Built
The Public Health Problem
While European consumers benefit from strict food regulations and transparent front-of-pack labels like Nutri-Score, consumers across developing nations (such as India, SE Asia, and Latin America) are bombarded with deceptive marketing claims. Ultra-processed foods loaded with refined palm oil, liquid glucose, and synthetic dyes are falsely marketed as "healthy breakfast foods" and "energy drinks for children," driving a silent public health crisis of diabetes, fatty liver, and metabolic disorders.
The Computational Solution
We architected FoodUnmasked as a zero-fluff, lightning-fast nutrition intelligence engine. Combining the European Nutri-Score algorithm with the international NOVA Processing Classification, the platform grades any food item from Grade A (Superfood) to Grade E (Hazardous UPF) in real time. It unmasks chemical INS codes, identifies cancer-risk preservatives, and provides instant 1-click healthy alternatives.
Architectural Deliverables & Core Features
- Multimodal Bio-Vision AI Scanner & OCR: Optical character recognition engine that scans real-world packaged food labels, ingredient panels, and INS codes with sub-second neural inference and deceptive claim detection.
- Deceptive Marketing Claim Buster: Forensic comparative matrix debunking corporate front-of-pack buzzwords ("100% Atta", "No Added Sugar", "Pediatric Growth Formula") against chemical back-of-pack reality.
- European Nutri-Score Reformulation Simulator: Whitebox laboratory allowing users and manufacturers to drag real macronutrient sliders (sugars, saturated lipids, sodium, fiber, protein) to calculate live Nutri-Scores based on French Santé Publique & EFSA standards.
- Personalized Health Persona Risk Lens: Dynamic clinical vulnerability alerts tailored to Diabetics, Cardiovascular/Hypertension patients, Developing Children (neuro-active dyes), and High-Performance Athletes.
- Holographic Head-to-Head Arena & Global 3.2M+ Database: Side-by-side comparative visual duel pitting everyday foods against each other with instant macro telemetry and access to the global Open Food Facts repository.
- Official Transparency Audit Certificates: One-click generation of immutable, high-resolution public health audit cards with cryptographic verification hashes and PubMed DOIs.
