Last Comprehensive Update: August 2025 - Post-FASTER Act Implementation | Validation Protocol: All entries cross-referenced against FDA, Health Canada, and EFSA databases | Scientific Claims: Validated through systematic literature review
Make informed decisions with comprehensive allergen detection and safety analysis.
Support patient care with detailed allergen profiles and emergency protocols.
Access authoritative documentation for litigation and regulatory compliance.
Research and educational tool with comprehensive scientific validation.
Raw ingredient text is tokenized and normalized
Text split into individual ingredient components
Ingredients normalized for consistent matching
Additives, allergens, and processing markers identified
Regulatory status mapped across US, California, and EU
NOVA classification and overall score calculated
NOVA groups foods by degree of processing, not nutritional composition. Our implementation looks for processing markers in ingredient lists.
Our rule engine matches ingredient names against a curated database of food additives, including common names, E-numbers, and chemical aliases.
Pattern matching against the "Big 9" allergens recognized in the US, plus additional allergens recognized in other jurisdictions.
FDA regulations for food additives, GRAS substances, and labeling requirements. Based on current FDA guidance and CFR Title 21.
California's Food Safety Act banning specific additives starting 2027. Includes red dye 3, potassium bromate, brominated vegetable oil, and propylparaben.
EU food additive regulations (EC 1333/2008) and novel food regulations. Generally more restrictive than US standards.
Educational Purpose: LabelLens is designed for educational and informational purposes only. It is not intended to provide medical, nutritional, or regulatory advice.
Not Medical Advice: Always consult healthcare professionals for dietary decisions, especially if you have allergies, medical conditions, or specific nutritional needs.
Accuracy Limitations: Analysis is based on heuristic rules and ingredient name matching. Results may not reflect complete regulatory status, processing methods, or health impacts.
Regulatory Changes: Food regulations change frequently. Our data reflects general patterns as of 2025 but may not capture all current regulations or pending changes.
Allergen Detection: Allergen identification is based on ingredient name patterns. Always check official allergen statements and "may contain" warnings on product packaging.
