verified_user Built around honesty, not false confidence

Scan a label.Understand every result.

AllerTrac is a camera-first allergy assistant that checks a product against your whole household — and traces every answer back to the exact ingredient and data source it used.

photo_camera Barcode & label scanning groups Whole-household profiles fact_check Evidence for every result
fact_check The trust model

Not a barcode lookup. An answer you can trace.

AllerTrac never says a product is “safe” or “approved.” Every scan returns one of four honest result states — always paired with an icon, a label, the matched allergy, and the exact evidence behind it.

check_circle No flagged ingredients found Nothing in the available text matched this profile's avoid-list. Shown honestly — never as a guarantee of safety.
cancel Flagged ingredient found A matched allergen or derivative was detected — with the exact triggering phrase shown to you.
warning Review before using A “may contain” note, an ambiguous term, or sources that disagree — so the call is yours, with context.
help Not enough information Too little readable text to evaluate — a blurry photo or a missing product. Explicitly not treated as safe.
groups Whole-household safety

One scan, every family member checked at once.

Set up a profile for each person, each with its own allergy list and strictness. A single scan is evaluated against everyone — so one result shows who's clear and who's flagged.

See exactly which ingredient matched — and why.

Results come from a transparent, deterministic rule engine — not a black-box guess. AI only helps read and normalize text you can review; it's never the authority on a result.

balance The cardinal rule

Built on honesty, not false confidence.

“Unknown” trending_flat is never shown as “approved.”

False negatives are the number-one risk in an allergy tool, so AllerTrac is designed around them. When data is missing, conflicting, or low-quality, it says so — and asks you to review — rather than guessing in your favour.

checklist Allergen coverage

The top allergens — plus gluten and fragrance.

A built-in ontology recognises not just direct names, but derivatives and vague “may contain” terms, with synonyms expanded across the top-9 allergens.

Live product lookups come from Open Food Facts (cached for 30 days), with a labelled local catalog as a fallback only when no live data is available.

quiz Questions

Good to know before you scan.

help Does AllerTrac tell me a product is safe?expand_more

No. AllerTrac never labels a product “safe,” “approved,” or “all clear.” It reports whether your configured avoid-list items appear in the available text, using four honest states, and always shows the evidence. The final decision — especially for severe allergies — is always yours.

photo_camera How does scanning work?expand_more

Scan a barcode with the camera, photograph an ingredient label (read on your device with on-device text recognition), or search by product name. When barcode data and a label scan disagree, AllerTrac returns “Review before using” rather than guessing.

groups Can I check my whole family at once?expand_more

Yes. Create a profile per household member with its own avoid-list and strictness, and a single scan is evaluated against every profile — so one result shows who's clear and who's flagged.

lock Where is my allergy data stored?expand_more

In your own account, readable only by you. Allergy names, profile names, label text, and barcodes are never sent to analytics or used for advertising. You can delete your account and all of its data at any time.

science Is the result an AI guess?expand_more

No. Results come from a transparent, deterministic rule engine — the same inputs always produce the same result. AI is limited to extracting, normalizing, and explaining text you can review; it is never the sole authority on a result.

info

AllerTrac is an ingredient-matching assistant. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition, and it does not determine whether a product is safe. Results depend on available ingredient text, OCR quality, product-data freshness, and your configured avoid-list. Always read the printed package label and consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical advice. In an emergency, use prescribed medication and contact your local emergency services.
