Know what's in your food — before you eat it.
SafeScan is a privacy-first food allergy scanner built for individuals and families managing allergies and dietary restrictions. Scan a product barcode, and SafeScan instantly checks every ingredient against your personal allergen profile. No guesswork. No squinting at tiny labels.
How It Works
1. Create a profile with your allergens and dietary needs
2. Scan any food product barcode
3. Get an instant safety verdict — Safe, Caution, Unsafe, or Review
Scan Any Way You Need
• Barcode Scanner — Point your camera at any product barcode for real-time ingredient analysis
• Label Scanner — No barcode? Photograph the ingredient label and SafeScan reads it with OCR, parsing ingredients, "may contain" warnings, and facility statements
• Manual Entry — Type or paste an ingredient list directly
• Product Search — Look up any product by name without a barcode in hand
Comprehensive Allergen Coverage
• 9 Major Allergens — Milk, Egg, Fish, Shellfish, Tree Nuts, Peanuts, Wheat, Soy, Sesame
• 11 Extended Allergens — Gluten, Lactose, Corn, Gelatin, Casein, Oats, Sulfites, Mustard, Celery, Lupin, Mollusks
• 6 Dietary Restrictions — Halal, Kosher, Vegan, Vegetarian, Low FODMAP, Low Histamine
• Custom Avoid List — Add any ingredient you want to flag
Smart Safety Engine
• Powered by an allergen ontology with 1,000+ synonym mappings — catches hidden sources, scientific names, and derived ingredients
• Three sensitivity modes: flag only confirmed ingredients, include advisory warnings, or strict mode for maximum caution
• Detailed match explanations tell you exactly why an ingredient was flagged and where it appeared on the label
Built for Families
• Create a profile for each family member with their own allergens and sensitivity settings
• Scan once for all profiles — one barcode, instant results for everyone
• Switch between profiles with a single tap while shopping
• Share printable allergy cards via text, email, or any app
Track and Compare
• Scan History — Review every product you've scanned, grouped by date, with full safety details
• Favorites — Bookmark safe products for quick reference
• Product Comparison — Compare products side by side to find the safest option
• Smart Alternatives — When a product isn't safe, SafeScan suggests alternatives.
• Scan Stats — See your total scans, unsafe catches, and safe favorites at a glance
Works Offline
Previously scanned products are cached on your device and available without internet. Profiles, history, and the full safety engine work completely offline.
Privacy First
