Integrity codes

The tricks are legal.
That doesn't make them honest.

Packaging is engineered to be believed, not read. These are three of the 23 integrity laws HonestWorld checks on every scan — with the kind of evidence the app shows you.

LAW 5−12 pts

Natural Fallacy

"Natural", eco and sustainability claims with no verifiable certification behind them. Words are free.

Front: "100% NATURAL"
Found: added flavour · no certifying body named
LAW 6−8 pts

Made-With Loophole

"Made with X" — but X is buried at the bottom of the ingredients list. Technically true at any amount.

Front: "made with REAL FRUIT"
Ingredients: fruit — position #7
LAW 7−10 pts

Serving Size Trick

A tiny declared serving makes every number on the panel look innocent. Nobody eats 19 grams of anything.

Per serving: "only 4g sugar"
Serving size: 19g — a quarter of a real portion
Simple as 1 · 2 · 3

Scan the product

Point your camera at the barcode for an instant result, or photograph the label of anything on Earth.

23 laws check the label

The same 23 integrity laws are applied to every product, every time. Same product, same score — no exceptions, no sponsors.

Read the evidence

Not just a number. Every score shows which laws were broken and the exact words on the packaging that broke them.

Everything you need

Built around honesty.

An ingredient checker, additive scanner and allergen guard in one — every feature exists to show you what the packaging won't volunteer.

Honesty Score

One number from 0 to 100 for how straight the label plays, scored against 23 integrity laws. Not nutrition — honesty.

The evidence

Every violation comes with proof: the exact label text that triggered it, quoted back to you.

Allergen alerts

Set peanuts, gluten, lactose, sesame and more. The instant a scan finds them, you know.

Health profiles

Vegan, diabetic, pregnant, keto, halal, kosher — scanning tailored to how you actually eat.

The most honest products found by scanners around the world — and the least honest, with receipts.

"In a world full of marketing noise, truth is a radical act."

We believe everyone deserves to know what they are really buying. Every product scanned is a step toward a more honest world, where labels tell the truth and companies are held accountable.

HonestWorld is built at night by one person — a chef in Brisbane, not a corporation. No investors, no board, no marketing budget. It takes no money from brands and never will, because the moment it does, every score becomes worthless.

HonestWorld — Truth in every scan
Questions answered

FAQ.

Everything people ask before their first scan.

Is HonestWorld free?
Yes. Unlimited barcode scanning, honesty scores, ingredient breakdowns and allergen alerts are free forever, with no ads. A Supporter upgrade inside the app unlocks unlimited photo label scans and extras — current pricing is always shown in the app on Google Play.
What does a scan actually show me?
An honesty score from 0 to 100, a clear verdict, every integrity law the label breaks, and the exact words on the packaging that broke them — plus a readable ingredient list, additives and allergen flags.
How are products scored?
Every product is checked against the same 23 integrity laws, covering ingredient order, claim accuracy, buzzwords, serving-size tricks and allergen disclosure. The same product always gets the same score. No sponsorship or brand relationship influences any score — none exist.
Is this a nutrition app?
No. HonestWorld doesn't judge nutrition or tell you what to eat. It judges honesty — the gap between what the front of the pack claims and what the label actually says. A product can be sugary and honest about it, or "natural" and misleading.
Which products does it cover?
Thousands of Australian supermarket products by instant barcode lookup, growing every day. Any product anywhere can be scanned by photographing its label.
What happens if a product isn't in the database?
Photograph the front and the ingredient list in the app. The product is analysed, scored, and joins the database — so the next person gets an instant result. The database grows with every scan.
Is it on iPhone?
HonestWorld is on Android via Google Play today. iOS is planned — email support@honestworldapp.com and you'll be notified the day it lands.
What data do you collect about me?
None that identifies you. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no data selling. Your scan history stays on your device. The full details are in the privacy policy — it's short on purpose.
