About Snack Check: Kids Food Scanner
Snack Check is a kids food scanner for parents. Scan the barcode on any snack and see in seconds whether it is safe for your child, scored against their age and their allergies.
Every scan gets a score from 0 to 100 with a clear verdict: Safe, Caution or Avoid. The score weighs the allergens your child must avoid, synthetic food dyes, added sugar against an age-based daily limit, and warnings such as ultra-processed food.
ALLERGEN SCANNER FOR EACH CHILD
Add a profile for each child with their allergies: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, sesame, gluten and more, plus any custom allergen you type. Snack Check reads the whole ingredient list, not just the allergen box, so hidden forms are caught too: whey, casein, milkfat and sodium caseinate count as milk. Every matching ingredient is highlighted.
FOOD DYE CHECKER
Red 40, Red 3, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2 and Green 3 are flagged under every name they hide behind, including E numbers, with a short note on why each one matters for kids.
SUGAR IN CONTEXT
Sugar per serving is shown against your child's daily limit, so 12 grams means something.
NO BARCODE? TAKE A PHOTO
Photograph the ingredient label, or even a plate of food, and Snack Check reads it and checks it the same way.
FDA RECALL ALERTS
Every scanned product is checked against FDA food recalls, and you can browse current recalls by class and status.
MORE FOR FAMILIES
Allergen groups for a classroom or a playdate, weekly safety reports, a kid mode for children scanning their own snacks, and a share card to send a result to the other parent or the school.
Product data comes from Open Food Facts. Snack Check needs no account and shows no ads.
PREMIUM
Snack Check includes a few free scans. Premium unlocks unlimited scans, multiple child profiles, the full dye and additive database, recall alerts and weekly reports. Choose monthly, yearly or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in Google Play.
Snack Check helps you read labels faster. It does not replace a doctor or allergist, and labels can change, so always check the package for severe allergies.

What’s new
Version 2.6 · Updated October 27, 2026
Fixed a crash when opening the barcode scanner. Scanning now starts reliably, and if your phone can't scan you'll see a clear message instead. Purchases are more reliable when your connection drops partway through. Phones that don't support in-app purchases no longer show an error message.
