01 · PHOTOGRAPH
Photograph the ingredient list
Take a photo of the label on the product. BOTIA reads the ingredients written on it.
Understand food labels
You've read the label a hundred times. You still don't know what's in it.
BOTIA reads the ingredient list for you. It explains what is in the food, in simple words. The explanations are based on scientific evidence. BOTIA does not give the food a score. It does not decide for you.
How it works
Start with the ingredients. Not the barcode.
BOTIA uses the ingredient list printed on the package. First it reads the label. Then it explains what it found.
02 · READ
BOTIA reads the label
It finds the ingredients and additives on the label. Then it connects them to the BOTIA layers. Each layer looks at a different question about the food.
03 · EXPLORE
Explore what matters to you
Read the explanation. See what the label can tell you. See what is still uncertain. See the sources behind the information.
BOTIA shows you what is there. You decide what matters.
Explore BOTIA
One label. Different questions.
People read the same label for different reasons. BOTIA keeps each question separate. It does not mix them into one single answer.
Woman
Evidence about women, when it exists.
Animal
Ingredients that may come from animals, according to the label.
Hidden Sugars
Different names and forms of sugars that are easy to miss.
Sweeteners
Which sweeteners are present and what they are.
Flavours
What “flavouring” can mean — and what the label may not tell you.
Texture
Ingredients that give food its texture. For example: emulsifiers, thickeners and stabilisers.
E-numbers
See which ingredient is behind each E-number code.
Muslim Choice
Halal, haram and doubtful ingredients. The rules used are documented.
Nutritional facts
Nutrition values from the label, plus official reference values.
No score. No verdict.
BOTIA doesn't tell you what to eat.
It shows what the label says. It shows what can be known from that. It shows what is still uncertain. It shows the evidence behind the information. The choice is yours.
Evidence
What's in your food — and who says so.
BOTIA links each piece of information to its source. You do not have to trust BOTIA. You can check the source yourself.
Follow the information back to its source
Each ingredient page shows where its information comes from. Sources include scientific studies, food authority rules and transparency sources. BOTIA does not hide its reasons behind a score.
BOTIA reads the label — not the company behind it.
BOTIA can read what is written on the label. It can explain the ingredients it finds there. It cannot know what the company does. For example, it cannot know about animal testing. It cannot know anything that is not on the label.
