Halal Food Scanner
HFS
Free tool
Halal ingredient checker
Paste the ingredients from a label, or type an E-number or ingredient name. Each one is looked up in our sourced reference and comes back Halal, Haram, Uncertain — or Not checked, when we don’t know.
In a shop? Scan it instead.
Point the camera at a barcode or ingredient list and get the same answer in a second. Free, no account.
Every E-number we check
401 E-numbers, A to Z. Uncertain means the source can vary and the label alone doesn’t say which.
