Disclaimer & Legal Notice – Scan To Halal

Effective Date: 20 October 2025

1. General Disclaimer

Scan Halal is designed to assist users in identifying whether food products may be considered Halal or non-Halal based on publicly available data from the Open Food Facts database. The app analyzes ingredient and product information to provide an informational assessment only and should not be considered religious, nutritional, medical, or legal advice.

While we strive to ensure accuracy and reliability, Scan Halal does not guarantee that any information displayed is complete, up-to-date, or free from errors. Product information, including ingredients and manufacturing processes, can change without notice, and manufacturers remain the ultimate source of truth for product composition and certifications.

Users are strongly encouraged to verify product information directly with manufacturers, distributors, or relevant Halal certification authorities before making any dietary or religious decisions.

2. Data Source

Scan Halal retrieves product information from world.openfoodfacts.org, an open database contributed by volunteers worldwide.

• The data may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or outdated records.
• Scan Halal does not own, modify, or verify the accuracy of this data.
• We are not affiliated, endorsed, or associated with Open Food Facts or any certification organization.

3. No Religious or Certification Authority

Scan Halal is not a religious authority or certification body. Our application uses algorithms and databases to identify ingredients commonly recognized as Halal or Haram according to general Islamic dietary principles.

For religious certainty, please consult your local imam, scholar, or halal certification board.
