Additive patterns
Multiple emulsifiers, stabilizers, gums, flavor terms, colors, or sweeteners can be useful signals to review.
Processing Signals
What Lychee can help surface from a packaged food label.
Ingredient complexity
A long or unfamiliar ingredient list may deserve closer reading, especially when front-of-package claims are simple.
Context limits
A scan cannot measure total diet, dose, frequency, medical needs, or whether a product is appropriate for one person.
Use With Care
Ultra-processed is a useful lens, not a complete food judgment.
Processing-related categories can help shoppers ask better questions about packaged foods. They do not replace nutrition labels, ingredient review, allergy checks, serving-size context, or professional guidance.
Lychee focuses on visible label signals. It cannot know every manufacturing step, exact formulation detail, or personal dietary need from a barcode alone.
