iOS app that scans barcodes and ingredient labels to flag halal, haram, and doubtful food items.
Tayib is an iPhone and iPad app that checks packaged food against Islamic dietary rules. Scanning a barcode checks it against a verified product database, while photographing an ingredient list runs OCR and flags specific ingredients such as pork derivatives, gelatin, alcohol, and other additives that may be non-halal. Results are classified as Halal, Haram, or Mushbooh, meaning doubtful, and alert strictness can be tuned to a specific school of Islamic jurisprudence, including Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali positions on ingredients like seafood and ethanol. The app was developed in Switzerland and states directly that it is not affiliated with other halal-scanning apps in the category. Barcode scanning against the verified database is free; deeper ingredient analysis requires a monthly, yearly, or one-time lifetime subscription, with prices adjusted by country.
Barcode scanning against the verified database is free; ingredient-photo OCR analysis requires a paid plan starting at $3.99/month, with yearly and lifetime options and prices adjusted by country.
Use tool ↗Tayib's madhab-specific strictness settings are a real differentiator in the halal-scanning category, where many apps apply one blanket standard. Being iOS-only and free only for the barcode-database lookup, rather than the OCR ingredient analysis, limits how far the free tier actually goes.
Watch out: The free tier only covers barcode lookups against the app's own verified database; scanning an ingredient photo for a product that is not already in that database requires a paid subscription.
