// MoguMogu — Japanese food-label scanner

Scan a label.
Know if it's safe.

Every ingredient list in Japan assumes you can read it. If you're vegetarian, halal, or shopping with an allergy, one dense paragraph of kanji stands between you and dinner. MoguMogu reads the label for you and tells you, plainly, whether it fits your diet.

Built for the supermarket aisle

Reads Japanese food labels

Point your camera at the ingredient panel. No typing, no dictionary app, no guessing at kanji.

Applies your diet, not a generic one

Vegetarian, vegan, halal, allergies, or your own exclusions. Set it once and every scan is checked against it.

Explains every verdict

A verdict you can’t question isn’t worth much. Tap “Why?” and see exactly which ingredient decided it.

Checks the whole family at once

Add a profile for each person you shop for. One scan shows who can eat it and who can’t.

// how it works

Three steps, ten seconds

  1. Set your diet once

    Pick vegetarian, vegan, or halal, list your allergens, and add family members if you shop for more than one plate.

  2. Scan the label

    Barcode or ingredient panel, in the shop or at home.

  3. Get a verdict with reasons

    Safe, doubtful, or unsafe, per person, with the exact ingredients that decided it.
