Store description excerpt
BannedPantry is the only barcode scanner that shows you which ingredients in your groceries are BANNED in the EU, Canada, UK, Japan, or California — but still legal in the US. Built by Ricki, a Louisiana mom of one (and one on the way), after she found banned dyes in her daughter's snacks. WHY MOMS USE BANNEDPANTRY • See instantly if a product contains Red 40, Yellow 5, BVO, BHA, BHT, potassium bromate, titanium dioxide, or 170+ other ingredients banned overseas • Free 5 scans/day · no signup required for first scans • Safer swap suggestions with one tap • Pregnancy Mode flags developmental-toxicity ingredients (free 14-day trial) • Family pantry profiles · re-flag alerts when products turn Avoid • OCR photo scan when the barcode is missing or damaged WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT We track 377 ingredients across food + beauty. 170+ are banned in at least one major country. Each flag cites the actual regulator (EFSA, FDA, Health Canada, etc.) — not opinions. UNLIKE OTHER SCANNERS • Yuka rates everything 0–100; we tell you if it's actually BANNED • EWG focuses on cosmetics; we cover food + beauty + supplements • Bobby Approved is hand-curated; we pull from open public data + regulator lists PRO ($4.99/mo or $39.99/yr) • Unlimited scans (barcode + photo OCR) • Family profiles for up to 4 members • Pregnancy Mode (full access) • Re-flag alerts when scanned products turn Avoid • PDF pantry audits + export • Priority support from Ricki herself SOURCES We cite EFSA, FDA, Health Canada, FSANZ, California Prop 65, and the WHO/FAO Codex. Product data comes from Open Food Facts + Open Beauty Facts (community-maintained, regulator-grade). PRIVACY Scans stay on your device unless you sign in. No selling data, ever. Built with love in Louisiana. For every mom who shouldn't have to be a chemist to feed her kids. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS BannedPantry Pro is an auto-renewable subscription ($7.99/month or $59.99/year).
