About Halal Scanner

Halal Scanner is a food-checking app for iPhone, published by Harun Mert Gokcegoz. You scan a product's ingredients with the camera or pick an image from your gallery, and it analyzes them to judge the product's halal status, whether you are in a store or browsing online.

Beyond halal checks it gives ingredient-based health scores, flags common allergens, indicates suitability for people with diabetes, keeps a scan history and adds comments explaining its halal and health verdicts. The interface is multilingual, including English, Arabic, German, French, Dutch, Russian and Turkish. A PRO upgrade gives unlimited scans and an ad-free experience.

The app is free to download with in-app purchases and filed under Reference. It suits Muslim shoppers who want a quick ingredient check on groceries and packaged food, and the listing says scanned images and personal data are protected with security measures.
