SmartChoice

Ingredient labels are written to be ignored. SmartChoice turns any barcode — food, cosmetics, cleaning products, or supplements — into an instant, ingredient-based verdict with a 0–100 score and the reasons behind it. EKPK built the whole platform: the rules engine, the API, the website, and the iPhone app.

What it does

One scan. Four categories. A clear answer.

The category is auto-detected from the barcode — no menus to dig through — and every ingredient is cross-referenced against regulatory and scientific sources including the FDA, EFSA, IARC, and EPA.

Food

Additives, dyes, sweeteners, and processing flagged against 17+ regulators.

Cosmetics

Parabens, sulfates, formaldehyde releasers, and fragrance allergens.

Cleaning

Harsh solvents, quats, bleach, phosphates, and more.

Supplements

Banned actives, mega-doses over safe limits, and proprietary blends.

Personalized Verdicts

Set allergens, diets, and ingredients to avoid — every scan gets a "for you" read, synced across devices.

Transparent by Design

Tap any ingredient to see what it is, why it's flagged, and where it's restricted. Verdicts are grounded in public science — never paid for.

EKPK's role

A verdict engine, three surfaces.

Behind a one-tap answer sits a real data platform — the kind of end-to-end build this shop exists to do.

Rules Engine
The ingredient-assessment core: taxonomies, regulatory sources, and scoring that turn a raw label into an explained 0–100 verdict.
API & Data
A scan API over a UPC-indexed product catalog, spanning food, cosmetics, cleaning, and supplements.
iPhone App
Native camera scanning, label OCR, saved preferences, history, and curated picks — on the App Store.
Website
smartchoice.fyi — the public front door, explaining the product and driving installs.
