Tikko: Food & Allergen Scanner
Scan it. Know if it fits you.
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Personal verdicts on any packaged food in two seconds - for your conditions, your allergens, shopping list scan and your whole family. Scan it. Know if it fits you.
Tikko scans any packaged food and tells you whether it fits YOU - not a generic score, but a personal verdict based on your health profile, your allergens, and your household.
Point your camera at a barcode. In under two seconds you get a clear answer - Fits you, Caution for you, or Not for you - with the one number that matters, like "28g sugar per serving - high for your diabetes profile." Every verdict is rule-based and explained in plain language with evidence ratings, so you understand why, not just what.
BUILT FOR REAL HEALTH NEEDS
Diabetes, hypertension, and kidney disease (CKD) profiles, with CKD stage selection so thresholds match your stage
Detects hidden phosphate additives (E338–E343, E450–E452) that rarely appear on nutrition panels
Full allergen alerts plus a custom avoid-list for any ingredient - beef, MSG, annatto, anything you choose
Ultra-processed food (NOVA) level and Nutri-Score on every product
Evidence tiers on every flag: Established, Emerging, or Disputed - information, not fear
NEVER A DEAD END
Product not in the database? Snap the label. On-device text recognition reads the ingredients and nutrition panel and gives you a verdict in seconds — and adds the product for everyone
Partial data? Tikko tells you exactly what it knows and what's missing
Every product shows its data source and last-verified date, with one-tap reporting if something looks wrong
BETTER SWAPS AT SIMILAR PRICES See alternatives in the same category that score better for your profile - matched on price, never an expensive upsell.
RECALL ALERTS If a product you scanned or saved is recalled — for undeclared allergens or anything else - you'll know. Covers FDA, CFIA, RASFF, and FSANZ notices.
