MIZAN
میزان
Ab tolo, phir khao.
The Name
Mizan (میزان) — Arabic/Urdu for "Scale" or "Balance." In classical usage, Al-Mizan refers to the scales of divine justice — the instrument that weighs deeds with perfect accuracy. Nothing hidden, nothing inflated, nothing escaped.
For a food transparency platform, it's perfect. We weigh your food's true worth — not the marketing, not the claims, the actual nutritional reality.
The Problem
- 73% of Indians are protein deficient
- 57% of Indian women are anemic
- 89 million Indians have diabetes
- 101 million are pre-diabetic
And yet, we're surrounded by products marketed as "healthy" that are loaded with sugar, sodium, and preservatives.
What We Do
Mizan is a searchable directory of packaged food products sold in India. Each product has:
- ⭐ Mizan Score — Based on FSSAI's Indian Nutrition Rating formula
- ⚠️ Roz ki Hadd — How much you can eat before hitting daily limits
- 💀 Mizan ka Faisla — A brutally honest verdict on what this does to your body
- 🚫 Additive Alerts — Ingredients banned elsewhere but legal in India
Free Forever
There is no premium tier. No ₹299/month subscription. No "unlock detailed analysis." The information is free. Forever. For everyone.
A mother in Mumbai and a mother in Muzaffarpur see the exact same data. Health information shouldn't be a luxury.
Open Source
Every calculation is documented. Every algorithm is public. You can literally read the code that generates these numbers. If we made a mistake, you can fix it yourself.
The Team
Mizan is built by Indians who are tired of being fooled by "health" marketing. We're developers, nutritionists, and concerned citizens who believe information should be accessible.
