## What is FoodScreener?

TIRED OF SQUINTING AT FOOD LABELS IN THE STORE?

FoodScreener makes it easy to scan a barcode and instantly see what you're really about to eat—ingredients, nutrition info, and clear warnings based on your preferences.

Set your dietary needs once, and the app flags ingredients you want to avoid. Whether you're watching sugar, gluten, additives, or allergens, FoodScreener works for you. It supports common diets like vegetarian, vegan, keto, paleo, low-carb, low-sodium, and allergy-sensitive plans (like avoiding dairy, peanuts, or soy).

KEY FEATURES
• Instant barcode scanning from 2 inches to 15 feet away
• Clear display of ingredients and nutrition facts
• Highlights unwanted ingredients based on your settings
• Works offline using a downloadable product database
• No tracking, no ads, no signup required
• First 20 scans are completely free
• One-time $2.99 unlock after trial — no subscription fees, ever

FoodScreener is designed to be fast, private, and simple. You can scan a product and get answers in seconds—before it hits your cart. It works even in stores with poor signal: just download the offline database before you shop.

There are no ads, no account required, and no trackers. Just a clean, useful app to help you make smarter food choices.

Created by a developer who was frustrated with unreadable ingredient labels—and now shared with anyone who cares about what goes into their body.
