Trusted by People with Celiac Disease Worldwide
“As someone newly diagnosed with celiac disease, this app has been a lifesaver. I used to spend 20 minutes reading labels in the grocery store. Now I just scan and go. The AI is scarily accurate.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What is gluten and why is it dangerous?▾
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and their derivatives. For people with celiac disease, consuming gluten triggers an autoimmune response that damages the small intestine, leading to malnutrition, digestive issues, and long-term health complications. Even people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity can experience bloating, fatigue, and discomfort. Avoiding gluten entirely is the only treatment.
How accurate is the AI gluten scanner?▾
Our AI model is trained specifically on food ingredients and gluten cross-contamination patterns. It catches common and hidden gluten sources like malt, modified starch, wheat starch, and derivatives that many people miss. While no AI is 100% perfect, we recommend using it as a powerful aid alongside your own judgment — especially for items manufactured in shared facilities.
Is my data private?▾
Yes. You don't need to create an account to use the core features. Photos you take are processed to generate results and are not stored on our servers long-term. We don't sell or share your data with third parties. Your scans are your own.
Is the app free?▾
The app has a free tier that gives you a set number of scans per month — more than enough to get started. A premium plan unlocks unlimited scans, history, and advanced features. No subscription tricks or hidden fees.
What foods can I scan?▾
You can scan packaged food ingredient labels, restaurant menus, prepared dishes, bread, snacks, sauces, condiments, beverages — essentially anything with an ingredient list or visible food content. The AI handles English ingredient labels best, with support for other languages improving continuously.
