Why Label IQ?

Many people want to make healthier choices but find packaged‑food labels confusing. Food packages are filled with numbers, percentages and unfamiliar ingredient names. A Harvard guide notes that while labels are meant to inform consumers, “complex‑sounding ingredients can lead to more confusion than clarity”.

Why Ingredient Transparency Matters

Food labels can be confusing and sometimes misleading. Manufacturers often use many different names for sugar to make a product look healthier than it is. Long ingredient lists and unfamiliar additives may signal heavy processing. Even the packaging itself can contribute to your chemical burden - a recent study found that around 25 % of known food‑contact chemicals were detected in human samples. Label IQ cuts through this complexity, giving you clear guidance so you can choose products that align with your health goals and values.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Label IQ different from reading a nutrition label?

Nutrition labels are packed with numbers and complex ingredients that can lead to more confusion than clarity. Label IQ decodes those ingredients, explains what they are, flags added sugars and additives, and even considers packaging chemicals that might migrate into food.

Is my personal data safe?

Yes. Your preferences and scan history are encrypted and stored securely. We never sell or share your data, and you can delete your account at any time.

Can I scan any product?

Label IQ recognizes thousands of packaged foods and is growing every day. We rely on data from numerous sources to ensure we have broad coverage.

Why focus on the first few ingredients?

Ingredient lists are ordered by quantity, from highest to lowest, so the first three ingredients make up most of what you’re eating. If you see refined grains, sugars or hydrogenated oils near the top, it’s a sign the product may be less nutritious.

Do you check packaging safety?

Yes. Research shows that thousands of chemicals are used in food‑contact materials and about 25 % of known food‑contact chemicals have been detected in human samples. Label IQ flags products packaged in materials that may contain high‑risk substances and suggests safer alternatives.
