Ways to check

3 ways to check for allergens

Whatever is in front of you - a packet, a plate, or just a product name - there is a way to check it.

Scan Ingredient Label

Scan the ingredient list directly with the camera. The app reads the printed text and checks every ingredient against your profile.

Take a Food Photo

Take a photo of food or packaging for analysis. Useful for cooked meals and dishes that never come with a label.

Search by Food Name

Enter a product or food name and get an allergy risk analysis - no packet needed, and no camera required.

How it works

From label to clear allergy risk

Three steps between picking something up and knowing whether it is safe for you.

1

Scan or search

Scan a label, take a photo, or enter a food name.

2

AI analysis

The application analyzes ingredients based on your allergy profile.

3

Understand the result

A simple breakdown shows what was found and why it matters for you.

  • High RiskAn allergen from your profile is in the ingredients.
  • Medium RiskTraces, unclear wording, or an ingredient worth checking.
  • Low RiskNothing from your profile was found in the ingredients.
Your profile

Personalized profiles for safer choices

Set up your allergy profile once and get results tailored to your needs. Every scan is checked against the allergens you actually care about - not a generic warning list.

  • Gluten
  • Milk
  • Peanut
  • Tree Nuts
  • Only what matters to youResults highlight your allergens first, instead of listing everything on the label.
  • Hidden ingredient names coveredCasein, whey, semolina and other names are recognised as the allergen behind them.
  • Change it any timeAdd or remove an allergen and the next scan uses the updated profile straight away.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the allergy analysis?

The analysis depends on the information provided. A clear, well-lit image of the complete ingredient list gives the app more reliable information than a photo of a prepared dish. Results may still miss ingredients, so always confirm against the official package label before eating.

What allergens does the app support?

The food profile includes gluten, milk, egg, fish, peanut, tree nuts, soy, and honey. You select the items relevant to you, and checks are compared with that profile.

Can I scan any food label?

You can scan a printed ingredient list that the camera can read clearly. Small text, glare, folds, missing parts of a label, and poor lighting can reduce the quality of the analysis. Retake the image or review the label manually when anything is unclear.

Does the app replace medical advice?

No. Food Checker is an informational tool, not a medical device, and it does not diagnose, treat, or prevent allergies. Follow your healthcare professional’s advice and personal emergency plan.
