Barcode Sugar Alcohol Detector SugarSweet is a free app I initially made for myself as a tool to help with my ulcerative colitis. Having been diagnosed two years ago, I found sugar alcohols and some artificial sweeteners significantly exacerbated my symptoms, and upon research, discovered this is true of crohn's disease and various other conditions as well. After using it myself, I wanted to share SugarSweet with others who might benefit from knowing exactly what's in their pantry or at the grocery store. The app has a database of various sugar alcohols and sweeteners and searches ingredient lists for matches. Simply scan the barcode of a product, and the app lists any sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners, along with links to learn more. SugarSweet is free and open source!

Yes!!! So helpful! Easy enough to scan! Does not likely have all the products in your pantry in the database. HOWEVER, wish I would’ve discovered this sooner! Suffer the same problems & unknowingly consume sugar alcohols - buried under their many different names. To the developer -thank you for your great idea as well as for generously sharing this us! I’ll always use it from now on in the store. It’s a lifesaver!

Many items I scan say none found. I wish there would be a way for people to add these items to the list once they are deemed safe or toxic. Otherwise it is an ok app.

They need to be regulated. Our children need protection.

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Our ingredients database has been changed to Open Food Facts and the app is now working again as normal. Thank you for your patience.
