Is it banned in Europe? Or by the FDA?
Paste an ingredient list and check it two ways: against substances the FDA has actually prohibited or revoked (21 CFR Part 189, Red No. 3, BVO, partially hydrogenated oils), and against additives that are still legal in the US but banned or restricted in the EU - potassium bromate, titanium dioxide, synthetic dyes, and more.
How this checker decides what to flag
This tool checks two fixed, curated lists - it does not use an AI model or send what you type anywhere. The first is substances the FDA has actually prohibited or revoked outright; the second is additives with a documented, specific EU restriction or ban that the US does not mirror. Every flag links to the full writeup with sources, so you can check the regulation yourself rather than take a bare label at face value. This isn't a safety verdict on the product as a whole, and a "nothing flagged" result doesn't mean the product is free of other concerns - only that nothing matched either list.
