In our experience it can sometimes be a little slow to spot things, so you need to leave it pointed at an ingredient list for a good few seconds at least, and you shouldn’t rely on this app if you have any serious allergies, since there’s always a risk it could miss some things, but otherwise this comes highly recommended. Soosee can also scan in 18 different languages, making it extra useful if you’re abroad and struggling to even decipher an ingredient list.
There are more than 30 categories of ingredients that it can search for, and these include high environmental impact ones as well as those that you might have an allergy to or not want to include in your diet if you’re, say, a vegan.īut if there’s anything not covered then you can create your own custom categories, by entering the words you want the app to search for. Simply tell the app what you’re trying to avoid, from a huge list of possible options, then point your phone’s camera at an ingredient list, and it will highlight any problem ingredients. If you have allergies or foods you’re trying to avoid, then you’re probably used to scouring ingredient lists for key words, but Soosee can do that for you.
