About MealGuard

MealGuard keeps you safe at every meal — whether you're shopping, cooking, or dining abroad.

🔍 SCAN ANY FOOD PRODUCT
Point your camera at a barcode or photograph an ingredients list. MealGuard instantly checks against your personal avoid list and alerts you to anything unsafe — allergens, intolerances, or foods you'd rather skip.

📋 YOUR PERSONAL AVOID LIST
Set up your profile once. Organise everything by severity:
🔴 Red — allergies (potentially life-threatening)
🟠 Orange — intolerances (causes discomfort)
🟡 Yellow — dislikes (personal preference)

Covers all 14 EU regulated allergens plus common intolerances and custom items you define yourself. Whether it's gluten, dairy, nuts, peanuts, shellfish, soy, eggs, or any other trigger — add it once and scan with confidence. No limits.

🪪 ALLERGY CARD & RESTAURANT MODE
Your avoid list, beautifully presented. The allergy card gives you a clean colour-coded overview of everything you cannot eat. Restaurant mode shows the same information with a clear message to the waiter or chef — designed to be read across a counter without fumbling for words.
Both are available in your device language for free. Upgrade to switch to any of 20 languages on demand — ideal when travelling abroad.

📷 OCR INGREDIENT SCANNER
No barcode? No problem. Photograph any ingredients list — on loose bakery items, restaurant menus, or food labels — and MealGuard reads and checks it for you. Works offline, no internet needed.

✈️ TRAVEL WITH CONFIDENCE
Eating out in a foreign country? Hand your phone to the waiter with your allergy card translated into the local language. No language barrier, no miscommunication — just safe dining wherever you go. Food safety made simple.
