About Gluten Free Scanner
Scan any barcode to find out if the product is gluten free - get a result in seconds. If the product contains gluten, the result tells you why. Built for people with coeliac disease and gluten intolerance, whether you're shopping for yourself or for someone else. - INSTANT: point the camera at a barcode and get your answer before you put the box down - MILLIONS OF PRODUCTS: more added every day - FREE TO DOWNLOAD AND SCAN: no account needed, no sign-up and no limits - SIX LANGUAGES: English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish - WORKS OFFLINE: the whole database, downloaded to your phone - SCAN HISTORY: everything you scan, saved for next time IT NAMES THE INGREDIENT A red light is only half an answer. When a product contains gluten, the result also names the ingredient responsible, wherever the database has that detail, so you start spotting the usual suspects on labels yourself. JUST DIAGNOSED? The first weeks of a gluten free diet are a crash course. What has gluten in it? Is soy sauce gluten free? Which beer can you still drink? The app answers those questions while you find your feet, so the supermarket stops feeling like an exam. MISSING PRODUCT? GET AN ANSWER ANYWAY Sooner or later you'll scan something the app hasn't seen before. Photograph the barcode, the name, and the ingredients list, and in most cases you'll have a verdict while you're still in the aisle. If it needs a human eye, we review it, and your addition is there for the next person who picks up that product. "I just got diagnosed with celiac disease and I had no clue what was gluten-free and what contains gluten. I am loving this app so far." — App Store review OFFLINE MODE (PREMIUM) Supermarket dead spots, basement aisles, flights. Download the database once over Wi-Fi and scanning carries on with no signal at all; it refreshes itself the next time you open the app online. It packs well, too: scan your way round a supermarket abroad with mobile data switched off. SCAN HISTORY (PREMIUM) Everything you scan is saved, so you look a product up once and the answer is waiting next week. No more trying to remember which brand it was that passed. SHARE WHAT YOU FIND Scanning for a child, a partner, or a friend? Share a product's result in one tap, so everyone doing the shopping sees the same answer. FOR EVERY GLUTEN FREE SHOPPER Coeliac disease, non-coeliac gluten sensitivity, a gluten intolerance, or a coeliac friend coming to dinner: the question in the aisle is the same. Is it gluten free? Scan snacks, cereals, bread, pasta, sauces, chocolate, and drinks on the weekly shop, and get a straight answer on each one. A NOTE ON GLUTEN Gluten comes from wheat, barley, rye, spelt, and triticale. On a label it hides behind names like barley malt, malt extract, wheat starch, and hydrolysed wheat protein, and it turns up where you least expect it: soy sauce, stock cubes, soups, sweets, and beer. The app reads the ingredients recorded for a product and flags the ones that mean gluten, so you're not decoding every label on your own. It can't detect cross-contamination or "may contain" traces, so always check the packaging, and talk to your doctor about managing coeliac disease. Install it before your next shop and try it on whatever's in the cupboard. Scanning is free. Premium unlocks Offline Mode and Scan History, monthly or yearly, with the price shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase; subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Terms and Privacy Policy: - https://glutenfreescanner.app/terms-and-conditions - https://glutenfreescanner.app/privacy-policy
