With PEEL SEARCH, you can skip Google and lookup thousands of ingredient names to instantly check if they fit your diet.

Gone are the days where you could find an excuse to cheat and not follow a diet goal, but Peel App makes it soooo easy to get ingredient information when you need it and in lightening fast speed. Fantastic work team! ### 5/5 — Highly Useful and Informative 👍 *2021-04-08, version 5.0* I found this app about a year ago via /r/sugarfree on Reddit. Besides trying to avoid sugar, it has helped me identify harmful products that will send me straight to the can. As I further explore how to improve my nutrition and learn about harmful ingredients such as soy lecithin, maltodextrin, etc, this app’s filtering makes it easier to spot and the possible side effects that that ingredient will possibly do to me. For instance, when I scan a product and have no idea what ‘sucralose’ is, the app will tell me to ‘avoid’ and state what category it is- such as artificial sweetener / high lectin. I wish this app added the option where you could build your own personalized bank or list of ingredients you selectively wish to avoid as I do not know how extensive each category for the diets available on the app are. I would like to know what is included in each one as I discover more scientific papers and research studies about harmful chemicals companies create. I am diving further into what will contribute to “brain fog” on top of spikes in energy levels, emotional stressors, and other responses to food your body makes. It is too unrealistic to completely cut out everything in our modern diets and eat strictly untouched and untampered with vegetables 24/7 so a personalized avoidance bank would certainly help when you want to make exceptions in an inconvenient world. On that note, this app is astounding and helpful. There is a lot of potential and I look forward to it’s growth. I highly recommend for anyone trying to become more conscious about their health, what they consume, or for anyone who has to adhere to a strict diet due to disease / other limitations. This app’s design has a straightforward interface and is a great staple as part of your go-to apps. ### 5/5 — I often rely on this *2021-03-14, version 5.0* The process, interface and language used is great. My one request would be to add support for non food ingredient lists. For example, as a celiac I find I can’t use certain ‘other’ products like shampoo, detergents, etc ### 5/5 — Can save lives *2020-10-31, version 4.0* This is the most breakthrough idea for people with food allergies. I’ve needed this. I spend half my time squinting at tiny print labels in the store. Wonderful resource. Tell anyone you know with food sensitivities or allergies. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t check for animal products *2020-08-03, version 3.1* This app is not very helpful for one of the things that would have helped the most. When I buy cheese or something with cheese, I always check for the type of rennet and if it doesn’t say microbial I don’t get it. I tested the app out on a pizza and used the lacto-ovo vegetarian preference. It didn’t look for the words rennet that were on the ingredients list. Instead it just listed all the cheese with a question mark saying it could have animal rennet and thatI should just get something certified as vegetarian. I guess I’ll have to keep scanning the ingredients myself the analog way, with my eyes and brain. ### 5/5 — This app is a game changer *2020-06-07, version 2.5* I have been allergic to dairy for 25 years and this app is changing my life. It takes the guess work out of eating prepared foods. I have found it to be super accurate and I have been using it for over 2 months now. I recommend this app to any customer at work that mentions dietary restrictions. As someone who had to do all the leg work myself; reading labels and researching ingredients to know what was safe for me to eat. The creators of this app have done all that and put it in one place that is accessible to everyone. They are amazing quick to respond to questions and requests. I sincerely thank them for creating an app this amazing. ### 5/5 — Absolutely great *2020-04-26, version 2.3* So far so good !!!! Is making my transition to a healthy lifestyle much much easier. Easy to use. Excellent idea !!!! Thanks ! I am amazed with the feedback with the developer ! They reply immediately ! In 15 years i never received a reply so fast. ### 5/5 — So thankful!! *2020-04-25, version 2.3* As a person who has been newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease, reading ingredients and trying to figure out what I may or may not be missing is really overwhelming. I love that not only does it flag ingredients to look out for but gives helpful explanation as to why. I’m so thankful for this app! ### 5/5 — I won’t go shopping without this App! *2020-04-11, version 2.2* Love this app, nothing could be more helpful while I’m shopping for groceries. I need to be gluten and dairy free. I love that I can customize my specific dietary needs. This app is easy to use, you take a picture, the app then tells you very clearly if it’s safe for you to eat. I am always amazed at what ingredients I over look. It has saved me money and time! Thank you, thank you! ## Frequently asked questions about Peel The App ### What does Peel The App do?
