What is WhatsVegan?
WhatsVegan is an AI-powered tool designed to assist users in determining whether products are vegan by scanning ingredient lists. Users simply take a photo of a product's ingredients, and the app analyzes the text to identify non-vegan, vegan, and potentially non-vegan ingredients. It provides color-coded results—green for vegan, red for not vegan, and orange for ingredients that may come from either animal or plant sources—offering clear, actionable insights.
Unlike barcode-based apps, WhatsVegan scans ingredients directly, making it compatible with all products regardless of whether they are in a database. This approach ensures broader usability and accuracy. The tool is intended for informational and educational purposes, helping users navigate grocery shopping more efficiently without providing dietary advice.
