Halal Companion · Available on iPhone, iPad and Android

Halal:
the answer, and why.

Photograph a menu, or scan a barcode at the supermarket. Lanatag checks it against your profile — allergens, diet, halal — and gives you an answer: a verdict, the reason spelled out, and the product's Nutri-Score when it's known.

The same profile, a second ground

The menu, you photograph.
The product, you scan.

At a restaurant, Lanatag reads what's printed on the menu. At the supermarket, there's nothing to read: a barcode is enough. Lanatag finds the product's record in a public product database and checks it against your profile.

At the restaurant

The menu

You photograph the menu. Lanatag translates and judges every dish — halal, allergens, diet — reason spelled out.

The product

You scan the barcode. Lanatag finds the product, shows its composition, its additives and its Nutri-Score when it's known, and checks it against your profile, halal included.

A real menu, in Chongqing

A hundred dishes.
Not one of them in your language.

This is where a translation app leaves you: with a hundred translated names and no idea which ones you can eat. Here is the same wall, read against one profile — peanut allergy, halal.

Reading the menu…
Read the two refusals apart. Pork is refused because the menu says so — 猪 is written into 火爆猪肝. Beef and chicken are held back for a different reason entirely: nothing here establishes how they were slaughtered. One is a fact on the page. The other is an open question, and we don't close it for you.
The part other apps get wrong

Every halal app asks one question.
We ask two.

"Is there pork on the menu?" is a question about the dish. It tells you nothing about how the chicken was slaughtered — and a menu almost never says.

Question one

Composition

Does this dish contain pork, or alcohol? We read what is printed. Nothing is inferred from the kind of restaurant it is.

Answerable from the menu
Question two

Slaughter

Was the meat slaughtered to rite? That is about the establishment, not the dish — and a printed menu rarely carries the answer.

Usually not established

When we don't know, we say so — and you still get dinner.

No certificate means land meat moves to Caution, with the reason spelled out. It is not thrown away, and you are not left staring at an empty screen.

  • Chicken, beef, lamb → Caution. "Halal status to verify at this establishment." Your call, made with the facts in front of you.
  • Fish, eggs, vegetables → still recommended. They need no slaughter rite, so nothing about them is unresolved.
  • Pork or alcohol printed on the menu → Avoid, and we quote the line that says so.
What Lanatag never does: certify. We read what is printed and tell you what we found. A certificate is something a restaurant earns — not something an app can grant.

Does Lanatag tell you if a dish is halal?

Yes, on two axes: composition, which is answerable from the menu, and slaughter, which is usually not established. When slaughter can't be confirmed, the dish is marked Caution with the reason spelled out — never silently removed.

Does Lanatag certify a restaurant as halal?

No. Lanatag reads what is printed and tells you what it found. A certificate is something a restaurant earns — not something an app can grant.

Can Lanatag scan a supermarket product?

Yes. Point at the barcode: Lanatag shows the composition, the Nutri-Score when it's known and any detected additives, then checks the product against your profile — allergens and halal. The absence of a halal certification on the package is never treated as a warning: like at a restaurant, it stays an open question rather than a refusal.

The card you can't print in advance

What you can eat,
and how to ask for it.

Reading the menu is half of it. The other half is making sure the kitchen understands — precisely, and without repeating the same conversation at every table. Lanatag builds that card from the order you just made.

Ten dishes read from one photograph.
Swipe to move between the four screens.
Two pork dishes and one celery salad, refused because the menu says so. Five meat dishes held back because nothing here establishes how they were slaughtered. Two fish dishes recommended without reservation — and those are the two that end up on the card you hand over.
