dtect - Allergen Label Scanner
Ingredients, Gluten & Traces
Only for iPhone
Free
iPhone
Photograph an ingredient list and see which of your allergens it names: direct matches in red, “may contain” traces in amber. Runs on your iPhone. No account, no upload.
Photograph an ingredient list and dtect shows which of your allergens it contains. Direct matches, such as milk, appear in red. Trace warnings such as "may contain hazelnuts" appear in amber.
dtect reads the printed label itself, so it requires no barcode and no product database. This helps with imported goods, small brands and labels in English, German, French, Italian, Dutch or Spanish.
Text recognition can misread words. dtect supports you in reading a label but does not determine whether a product is safe, so always check the packaging.
