Ingredo.app for vegan diets
Yes — turn on the Vegan profile and Ingredo.app hard-blocks animal-derived ingredients — meat, dairy, eggs, gelatin, and animal-derived additives like carmine or lanolin — on every food and cosmetic you scan, citing the source behind each flag so you can see exactly why something failed. It's an informational aid; always check the label for the final word.
Vegan status often hinges on additives with ambiguous origin — like E120 (carmine) or E441 (gelatin) — which the Vegan profile treats as a hard block by default.
For cosmetics, we also flag animal-derived ingredients such as lanolin, beeswax, and carmine, and note when a product's vegan status isn't certified.
