Does not work
Downloaded the app, checked a few items that I know are Gluten free and everyone can back Maybe, Maybe, Possibly. I deleted the app.
A little dated but works well
A very helpful app in my opinión. Works very well to determine if things are vegan, vegetarian or gluten free.
Useless
Makes you create an account and then claims there are tons of foods in the database, but not a single scan had any results. Useless app do not download.
Lifesaver !!
Just went vegetarian and this helped so much
Terrible
Tried about 20 food items and they weren’t found.
Good concept.. not too helpful
I’m vegetarian and it’s tough to figure out if foods are safe to consume or not. I was excited when I heard about this app.
Unfortunately I haven’t had much luck. Most of the items I’ve scanned, it says item not found. And when it does come up it says that a product “might be vegetarian”. Now I get the reason that its tough to determine from the products ingredient listing(as the fdc doesn’t require foods to specify if an ingredient is derived from an animal or not), but “might be” just isn’t all that helpful. When you’re vegetarian you can’t trust items that “might be vegetarian”. That’s kind of why I downloaded this app in the first place.
So this app “might be” useful… but it hasn’t really helped me too much with the few products I have scanned. Nice attempt though.

Not good!
It really doesn’t tell you if it’s vegan, vegetarian, or anything else. It just says maybe for every single item that you search up. Like literally it will always say that there’s a possibility if it’s vegan or vegetarian but it never actually tells you if it really is.
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback! Each food is displayed with a color-coded confidence level for each diet. We give a food a green label if we’re confident that it is compatible with a diet, a yellow label if it may be compatible, and a red label if we’re pretty sure it isn’t. Perhaps we could improve our wording to make that more clear. We hope this helps!
Amazing!
Chomp is really helpful when I’m grocery shopping. Being able to scan a food and see if it’s vegan has been a lifesaver!
