How it works

1. Make profiles. Add each person, their allergens, and a sensitivity level for each: severe, moderate, or mild. Every allergen starts at severe.
2. Read the statements. Before you lower a level below severe, you read and sign short statements about what the app can and cannot know, such as “may contain” labeling and products regulated by the USDA.
3. Scan the barcode. We look up the product in our own copy of public product data. No scan is sent to anyone else.
4. Photograph the label. Text recognition runs on your phone. For severe profiles this step can’t be skipped.
5. Get a result per person. Fixed rules compare the label against each profile. You see the result, the reasons, and the exact words that matched.

The results

Avoid

An allergen is listed, or a rule for this sensitivity level says to avoid it.

Scan the label

We need a clear photo of the ingredient panel before we can say anything.

Caution

Something on the label or in the data calls for a closer look at this sensitivity level.

Note

A precautionary statement or similar mention, shown for your information at mild sensitivity.

No listed allergens found

The rules found nothing on the label for that person. It is not a guarantee.

Why no AI in the result

Results come from fixed rules and a published list of allergen terms. The same label always gets the same result, and every scan records the version of the rules that judged it.
