A gluten-free food scanner that reads the label

GlutenScan helps you review visible ingredients, allergen statements, and may-contain wording on the actual package — especially when a barcode database is missing, stale, or not enough.

Scan the ingredients list

Point your iPhone at the current package label. GlutenScan focuses on visible label text, not old product records.

Review allergen statements

Visible wording such as Contains: wheat, may contain wheat, or shared equipment can change the result.

GlutenScan uses safe, unsafe, and unknown. Safe requires a complete supported label with a finished-product gluten-free claim and no contradictory evidence; unknown means the app cannot establish safety.

Why label-first scanning matters

Barcode-first apps can be helpful, but packaged food changes. GlutenScan is built for the moment when you are holding the product and need to review the ingredients that are printed in front of you.

  • Works when a barcode is missing or the product is imported.
  • Helps with local brands, deli labels, bakery labels, and multipacks.
  • Surfaces gluten-related terms instead of making you decode the whole label manually.

When the app should say “unknown”

Unknown means GlutenScan cannot establish safety, including when a photo is blurry, the ingredients list is cropped, the allergen statement is missing, the language is unsupported, wording is contradictory, or label text has low confidence.
