Halal settings, stated as facts
DARNY doesn’t rule on what is halal. It shows what the label says, and who certified it. Points where opinions differ, like alcohol used as a carrier, insects or uncertified meat, are your own settings.
- Certified halalwhen the pack carries a certification, with the certifier when it is named
- No non-halal ingredients foundin the ingredient list, without a certification
- Unclear from the labelwith the ingredient that leaves it open, instead of a guess
- Contains a non-halal ingredientnamed, with where it appears
- Contains something you excludedfrom your own settings
A good score isn’t always right for you
Peanuts can score well and still be the one thing you avoid. DARNY keeps the two apart: the score is about the food, the verdict is about you.

Built to be checked
Shared food data has mistakes. DARNY is built around finding and fixing them, in the open.
Open data as the start
Product data comes from Open Food Facts, the open food database, credited on every product.
Corrected against the pack
Values that look wrong are checked against photos of the pack and corrected by hand: over 1,500 so far.
Scored with published rules
EU regulations, EFSA opinions, Nutri-Score 2023 and NOVA. No secret formula.
Tested every night
300 products checked by hand are re-tested nightly: a missed allergen or a contradicted halal or vegetarian answer raises an alert.

Read the privacy policyQuestions
Is DARNY free?
Yes. Scanning, the score and its breakdown, and the checks against your allergies, halal settings and diet are free, and will stay free.
I already use another food scanner. Why DARNY?
Keep it if you like it. DARNY does something else: it checks each product against your own halal settings, diet and allergens, for free, in Dutch and French, and shows the source of every number.
Does DARNY say whether a product is halal?
It shows what the label says: certified halal when the pack carries a certification, no non-halal ingredients found, or unclear from the label and why. The decision is yours.
Where does the data come from?
From Open Food Facts, the open food database, checked and corrected by DARNY against photos of the packs. Scores and flags are DARNY’s own.
Is it medical advice?
No. DARNY gives information, not medical, dietary or religious advice. Recipes change: always check the pack, especially for allergies.
A product is missing. What now?
Send three photos of the pack from the app. A reviewer adds it, for everyone.
