Keep multiple food allergies and restrictions in one profile.
Scan a barcode or photograph an ingredient label.
Connect related ingredient names, such as casein with milk.
Review clear matches without a misleading safe-to-eat verdict.
What to look for in a food allergy app
A useful food allergy app should reflect your actual restriction list, explain why an ingredient matched, and be honest about uncertainty. Allergy Scan is designed around those needs: a personal profile, label and barcode scanning, normalized ingredient names, and factual results that remain easy to verify against the package.
One profile for your personal restrictions
Food needs are rarely one-size-fits-all. A profile can contain multiple allergies and dietary restrictions so every scan is compared with the same personal list. That makes it easier to review products consistently while shopping for yourself or checking a label at home.
Designed for clearer ingredient checking
Ingredient lists can be dense, use unfamiliar names, or hide relevant relationships behind technical terms. Allergy Scan extracts the available ingredient text and normalizes known names before applying rule-based matching. The result explains what matched instead of asking you to trust an unexplained score.
Frequently asked questions
What does a food allergy app do?
A food allergy app can help organize personal restrictions and make ingredient labels easier to review. Allergy Scan compares detected ingredients with the allergies and dietary restrictions saved in your profile.
Can I track more than one food allergy?
Yes. Allergy Scan lets you put multiple allergies and dietary restrictions in one profile and checks detected ingredients against the complete list.
Does Allergy Scan decide whether food is safe?
No. It shows factual ingredient matches. It does not account for every manufacturing risk, guarantee label recognition, or certify a product as safe.
Can I use the app for dietary restrictions as well as allergies?
Yes. Profiles can include allergies and personal dietary restrictions, including examples such as milk, peanut, soy, sesame, gluten, lactose, garlic, and onion.
