Features

SafeScan checks food against the allergies and diets of everyone you shop for. Scan a barcode or an ingredient label, and the safety check runs on your device against your own profiles.

Scan any way you need

Barcode and ingredient label scanner

Point your camera at a barcode and SafeScan looks the product up and checks every ingredient against your profile. No barcode, or the product isn't in the database? Photograph the ingredient label and SafeScan reads it with OCR, including "may contain" warnings and facility statements.

Sensitivity modes

People react differently to the same label. SafeScan's three sensitivity modes let each profile decide whether "may contain" warnings and unknown ingredients should be flagged, from Contains Only to Strict.

More than allergies

Dietary restrictions

Add vegan, vegetarian, halal, kosher, low FODMAP or low histamine to any profile and SafeScan checks every scan against your diet as well as your allergies. For halal, doubtful (mushbooh) ingredients get a Caution verdict.

Nothing slips through

Hidden allergen detection

Allergens often appear under other names, like casein for milk or semolina for wheat. SafeScan's allergen ontology maps more than 1,000 synonyms, scientific names and derived ingredients to their allergen, and explains every match.
