For each product:
- Verdict: Safe, Caution, Review or Unsafe for your profile
- Flagged ingredients: what matched your allergens or diet
- Advisory warnings: any “may contain” statements
- Confidence: how complete the product data was
SafeScan then tells you which product is safer for the active profile.
