Sugar is not the entire story.
James places energy, sugar, protein and salt side by side and separates pack figures from your actual serving.

The camera reads the pack; James organises values, ingredients and portion. No moral traffic light and no medical diagnosis — just better questions about the product in front of you.
00 / Direct answer
The short answer first.
With the nutrition check in James Live Lens, point the camera at a nutrition table or ingredient list. James can structure visible information, distinguish per-100-gram values from a serving and explain marked allergens. Recognition can be wrong; the original packaging remains authoritative, especially for allergies or medical nutrition questions.

The whole pot is a different calculation.

02 / Why it matters
The feature is not the point. What changes next is.
Table before marketing
James starts with visible mandatory information and separates packaging language from measured values.
Servings remain traceable
Per-100-gram figures and the amount you actually eat are not conflated.
Uncertainty stays marked
Unreadable details are not silently invented. For risk, trust the pack rather than the simulation.
No moral traffic light on your yoghurt.
Food is more personal than a red or green score. James should make figures and ingredients readable — and clearly say when the image is insufficient or medical interpretation belongs with a professional.
03 / How it works
Three moves. You stay in control.
- 01
Hold the full table steady in view
- 02
Choose nutrition, ingredients or allergens
- 03
Check the result against the original pack
04 / FAQ
Before you hand James the moment.
Can James scan nutrition facts from a package?
Yes. Live Lens can capture and structure a visible table. Light, angle and print quality can affect recognition.
Can James identify allergens?
James can highlight visible marked allergens. For allergies, read the original packaging yourself because recipes and trace warnings can change.
Does James label food healthy or unhealthy?
This page deliberately avoids a blanket health score. James can explain and compare visible values but cannot replace individual medical nutrition advice.
Can James calculate my serving?
Yes, when package size and values are readable. Important calculations should still be checked.
Are camera images saved automatically?
Camera use, processing and optional storage depend on the permissions you choose and the current James app version.
