Tayib vs reading labels yourself
Factual comparison, no bashing. Reading a label yourself is still an excellent habit — Tayib does it with you, not for you. But some ingredients hide their origin, and E numbers aren't learned in a day. Here is what each approach allows.

Ideal user profile
Pick Tayib if
You shop fast, want a reasoned answer, and like learning where ingredients come from along the way.
Go with reading labels yourself if
You already know the sensitive ingredients and your school's positions well, and you often buy the same products.
Which one for you?
They complement each other. Tayib reads faster and cites its sources; your eye stays the judge, especially when the packaging has changed or the data is incomplete. When in doubt, check the pack or ask the manufacturer.
