How it works

Three steps to know what's in your food

No medical knowledge needed. No jargon. Just clear, personalised answers.

1

Select your conditions

Choose from 62 health conditions — from IBS and Coeliac to high blood pressure, ADHD, and thyroid conditions. Select as many as apply.

2

Paste the ingredients

Copy the ingredients list directly from the packet or a product website. Commas, brackets, and E-numbers all work fine — paste it as-is.

3

Get your results

Every ingredient is rated Avoid, Watch, or Safe — specifically for your conditions. Each flag includes a plain-English explanation of why it matters.
