SafeScan Profiles screen with separate allergy profiles for John and a child

One app for the whole household

Allergies rarely line up in a family. One child avoids peanuts and tree nuts, a partner is vegetarian, and someone else is on a low FODMAP diet. SafeScan keeps each person’s needs in their own profile, each with its own sensitivity mode.

Scan for All

With Scan for All on, one scan checks the product against every profile. You see a result per person, so you can tell at a glance whether the snack works for everyone or only for some of you.

Switch profiles in a tap

Shopping for one person? Switch the active profile with a single tap and every scan checks against that person only.

Share a profile

Every profile can be turned into an allergy card to send to a school, babysitter, grandparent or restaurant.

Frequently asked questions

How many profiles can I create?

The free version includes one profile with full scanning. SafeScan Pro adds more family profiles.

Can I check a product for everyone at once?

Yes. Enable Scan for All in the scanner to check a product against all your saved profiles at the same time. Each profile gets its own verdict.

Is my child's data shared with anyone?

No. Family profiles, including a child's allergies, are stored only on the parent or guardian's device and are never sent to us.
