Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Puneet, the maker of LabelLens.
The idea started from a simple question: when we buy packaged food, do we actually understand what's on the label?
Most ingredient lists are filled with scientific names, additives, sweeteners, and nutrition data that's difficult to interpret. Even when the information is technically available, understanding it takes time and knowledge that most consumers don't have.
That's why I built LabelLens.
Upload a food label, and LabelLens analyzes the ingredients, detects additives and sweeteners, evaluates nutrition information, and generates a simple health score with explanations you can actually understand.
One thing I focused on while building was transparency. Instead of giving a score and expecting users to trust it, LabelLens shows what influenced the score and highlights ingredients that deserve attention.
I'd love to hear your thoughts:
• Would you use something like this before buying packaged food?
• What information do you usually look for on food labels?
• What features would make this more useful for you?
Thanks for checking out LabelLens and for any feedback you share 🙌

@mrluke Thanks! That was actually one of the motivations behind building it. When people are dieting or trying to improve their nutrition, ingredient lists can be surprisingly difficult to interpret. My goal was to make that information much easier to understand in a few seconds.

The LabelLens product seems useful for many different types of people in lots of situations. However, @raizen_dev , I noticed that your description makes no mention of allergies or related categories. For example, I think this would be especially helpful for people with certain types of sensitivities to know whether a product was made in a facility where un-listed ingredients were used that may have come into contact with the product.
Transparency on food labeling is an important issue to tackle. Thanks for sharing your work!

@underuncertainThanks for bringing that up. That's actually a really good point.
Right now LabelLens focuses on helping people understand ingredients, additives, sweeteners, and nutrition information more easily, but allergy-related insights are definitely something worth exploring. For many people, that's even more important than the overall health score.
I appreciate the suggestion and the thoughtful feedback. It's given me something to think about for future updates.

Looks good, I would certainly try this, I like the scoring factor
@mark_okiki Thanks! Glad you liked the scoring factor. The goal was to make food labels easier to understand at a glance.
