ハラールスキャナー
The halal scanner built for Japan
Point your camera at any barcode. The AI reads the Japanese label, checks every ingredient against halal criteria, and hands you the verdict with reasons —free, in about a second.
What one scan checks
Verdicts, not just labels
Every scan returns Halal,Doubtful orHaram — plus the exact flagged ingredients, a confidence score, and what would upgrade the verdict. The methodology is ingredient-level and aligned with JAKIM MS1500 guidance, so travelers from Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore know exactly what standard they're reading.
Beyond barcodes
No barcode? Photo-check street food at stalls and festivals. Need to ask staff? Voice translation turns your question into polite Japanese. Planning meals? The restaurant finder shows halal and Muslim-friendly spots nearby — seehow halal restaurants work in Japan.
Scanner questions, answered
Is the Halal Japan scanner free?
Yes — downloading the app and scanning products is free on both iOS and Android. Premium features exist for power users, but the core halal barcode scanner, the verdicts and the flagged-ingredient explanations are free to use.
Is there an online halal scanner without installing an app?
Not a practical one — a halal scanner needs your camera for barcodes, an ingredient database, and speed at the shelf, which is why it works as an app rather than a website. Halal Japan installs in seconds and works where you actually need it: standing in a konbini aisle. Verified product pages are coming to this website for reading results on the web.
How does the AI halal scanner work?
Scan the barcode and the app identifies the product, reads its Japanese ingredient list, and checks every ingredient against halal criteria aligned with JAKIM MS1500 guidance — pork and derivatives, alcohol-based seasonings like mirin and sake, gelatin, and doubtful additives like unspecified emulsifiers or shortening. You get a verdict (Halal, Doubtful, or Haram), the flagged ingredients, and the reason for each flag.
What if a product has no barcode — like street food?
Use the photo check: snap a picture of the stall or dish and the app identifies common ingredients and cooking methods, warning about alcohol, pork and lard risks. It's built for exactly the situations a barcode can't cover — festivals, market stalls, and restaurant menus.
Does the scanner work for products outside Japan?
It's built for the Japanese market: Japanese barcodes, Japanese labels, Japanese additives. That focus is what makes the verdicts precise — the ingredient patterns that matter in Japan (mirin in seasonings, 洋酒 in chocolate, gelatin in konbini desserts) are exactly what it knows best.
