How it works
Three seconds from label to verdict.
We check the rules
Each additive is matched against our human-reviewed database. A deterministic engine scores it — no guessing, no black box, no vibes.
Get your verdict
An A–F grade and a green/yellow/red call — with every flagged ingredient explained in plain English, and why it's flagged.
The trust story
The AI reads the label. It never judges.
Most "AI" apps hand your family's food to a language model and let it improvise an answer. We refuse to do that. Here's the line we won't cross:
Vision only reads
The camera and vision model do exactly one job: turn the printed label into a clean list of ingredients. That's the whole extent of the "AI."
Rules decide safety
Every grade is computed by a deterministic engine scoring ingredients against a bundled, human-reviewed additives database with cited sources.
Same label, same verdict
Feed it the same ingredients and you get the same result — every time, on every phone. Transparent and explainable, not a mood.

Why it matters now
The rules keep changing. We track them so you don't have to.
The rules just changed
Red 3 got pulled. Would you have known?
In January 2025 the FDA revoked Red 3 from food over thyroid tumors in animal studies. The additive rulebook keeps shifting — and it's a lot to track while you're holding a toddler and a shopping cart. So we track it for you.
Jan 2025
FDA revokes Red 3
Erythrosine (Red 3) was pulled from food after studies linked it to thyroid tumors in rats.
By 2027
California's AB 418
California bans Red 3 from foods sold in the state — one of several dye restrictions now rolling out.
In effect now
EU warning labels
The EU already requires child-behavior warning labels on certain artificial dyes still common in U.S. snacks.
Every change is reviewed by a human and logged with its source, so the verdict you get today reflects the rules as they actually stand today.
Stay a step aheadHuman-reviewed · cited sources
One database. Every category that ends up on a label.
Keeping track of what's banned, restricted, or newly flagged across the FDA, EU, and individual states is a full-time job. SnackProof does it in the background so a quick scan always reflects the current rules.
Made for your family
Tell us who you're scanning for. We'll weight the rest.
A snack that's fine for you might not be fine for a two-year-old. SnackProof weights kid-sensitive additives more heavily for children and surfaces the flags you actually care about.

Loved by parents
The label check parents wish they'd had sooner.
The part I trust most is that it's not the AI guessing. Same snack, same grade, every time — it just tells me what's actually in the box and why it flagged it.
Mom of two · 3 & 6
I had no idea Red 3 got pulled until this app flagged it on a gummy we buy every week. Now I check before it goes in the cart — takes about three seconds.
Dad · toddler at home
I set it to my daughter's profile and it weights the dyes and sweeteners I care about. Every flag links out to a real source — no vague "this might be bad."
Parent · reads every label
Standing in the cereal aisle comparing two boxes, I just scanned both. One was an A, one was a C. Decision made — no squinting at fine print.
Mom · grocery runs solo
We check halal and it's the first scanner that treats that as a real flag, not an afterthought. Fast, clear, and it explains itself.
Dad of three
My kid has a sensitivity to certain preservatives. Being able to see exactly which additive is in there — and skip it — has been genuinely reassuring.

Questions, answered
The honest FAQ.
Does the AI decide whether my food is safe?
No — and that's the whole point. The vision model only reads the printed label into a list of ingredients. Every safety verdict is computed by a deterministic rules engine scoring those ingredients against our human-reviewed database. The AI never gives an opinion.
Why do I get the same verdict every time?
Because it's rules, not guesses. The same ingredient list always produces the same score and grade, on any phone. That reproducibility is exactly what a language-model guess can't give you — and it's why you can trust the result.
Where does the additive data come from?
From regulators and research — the FDA, EFSA in Europe, California's OEHHA, WHO/JECFA evaluations, and peer-reviewed studies. Each entry is reviewed by a human and stored with its citation, so you can see why an ingredient is flagged.
What do the grades and colors actually mean?
Every product gets a score from 0–100 mapped to a letter: A (90+) down to F (under 35). Green means "looks clean," yellow means "some caution flags," and red means "we'd skip this one." Each flagged ingredient gets its own card explaining the call.
Does it work for my toddler differently than for me?
Yes. Pick who you're scanning for — Toddler, Kids, Whole family, or Just me — and additives that matter more for young children are weighted more heavily. You also choose which categories to flag, from artificial dyes to halal, kosher, and vegan concerns.
Does it catch allergens too?
SnackProof reads the "Contains" allergen statement straight off the label and surfaces it with your verdict, so the major allergens are front and center. It's an additive scanner first, though — for a life-threatening allergy, always confirm against the physical label and your allergist. Never rely on an app alone.
Do I need internet, or an account?
No account needed to start — your first three scans are on us. The additive rules database lives on your device, so the scoring is instant and works even on spotty store Wi-Fi. Reading a brand-new label uses a quick, secure cloud call to turn the photo into text; the safety verdict itself is always computed locally from the rules.
What happens to the photos I scan?
A label photo is used only to extract the ingredient text, then it's done — we don't sell your data or build an ad profile from your pantry. Your scan history stays tied to your device. Full details live in the privacy policy, and Pro is a simple subscription with no data-for-access trade.
How big is the database, and how current is it?
It spans the additives that actually show up on snack labels — dyes, sweeteners, preservatives, emulsifiers, thickeners, added sugars and more — and it keeps growing. Because every entry is human-reviewed against the FDA, EU, and state rules and shipped with the app, an update rolls the latest changes (like the Red 3 revocation) out to everyone at once.
Is this medical advice?
No. SnackProof gives general ingredient information for educational purposes. It isn't medical, nutritional, or religious advice and can contain errors — always read the physical label and check with your pediatrician or a qualified professional for health decisions.
Check the label before the next snack.
