## What is AlergiGuard?

Living with allergies shouldn't be scary. AlergiGuard scans labels, ingredients and barcodes so you can eat, shop and travel safely — whether you have food allergies, intolerances, celiac disease, a vegan diet or a pollen allergy.

Point your camera at the ingredient list and know in seconds whether that product is safe for you or your family.

THE 9 MAJOR FOOD ALLERGENS — AND 5 MORE

AlergiGuard detects all nine allergens the FDA requires on US labels: milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans and sesame. Plus the five that only Europe mandates and that show up constantly in imported food: mustard, celery, lupin, mollusks and sulfites.

INTOLERANCES, FLAGGED SEPARATELY FROM ALLERGIES

Lactose, fructose, sorbitol and other polyols (E420, E965...), histamine and sulfites (E220-E228). An intolerance is not an allergy, and the app never mixes them up.

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH ALERGIGUARD

• Label scanner: photograph the ingredient list of any product. The app reads the text and instantly warns you about hidden allergens and possible traces.

• Barcode scanner: check grocery store products in an instant.

• Restaurant menu scanner: photograph the menu and see which dishes match your profile before ordering.

• AlergiBot, your AI assistant: ask anything about ingredients, additives, labels or reactions and get a clear answer right away. Try it free before subscribing.

• Family profiles: one profile per family member, each with their own allergens — switch between them as you scan.

• Vegan and gluten-free filters: specific rules to instantly detect animal-derived ingredients or gluten.

• Safe alternatives: if a product contains gluten, lactose, egg, soy or tree nuts, the app suggests substitutes from well-known brands.

• Medical SOS card in 7 languages: show your severe allergies at any restaurant or abroad (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Arabic with native RTL). Export it as a PDF.

• Cofactor assistant: exercise, alcohol, fever, menstruation or heat can multiply the risk of a severe reaction (anaphylaxis). AlergiGuard helps you assess it.

• Pollen and air quality: daily levels of grass, olive, birch and cypress pollen in your area, with preventive tips.

• Symptom diary: log what you eat and how you feel; the app spots correlations and suspect ingredients for your next allergist visit.

• Allergen encyclopedia: the names allergens hide behind on labels and their cross-reactivities, for 20+ allergens (LTP, gluten, dairy, sulfites, penicillin, venoms...).

WHO ALERGIGUARD IS FOR

For celiacs and people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity. For anyone with lactose or fructose intolerance. For parents of kids allergic to cow's milk protein, egg or peanut. For people allergic to tree nuts, shellfish or LTP. For vegans and vegetarians who want to check for animal-derived ingredients. For travelers who don't speak the local language. And for anyone tired of reading labels with a magnifying glass.
