## What is PlatePal?

PlatePal checks whether packaged food fits your faith, your lifestyle, and your allergies, all at once. Scan a barcode, search by name, or photograph the label for a clear verdict in seconds. Allergen alerts are always free.

ONE APP FOR ALL OF YOU
Most food apps check one thing. PlatePal stacks every requirement you set: halal, kosher, vegetarian, vegan, and pescatarian, plus the US Big 9 allergens, EU extras, gluten and celiac, and lactose. One scan gives one answer that respects all of them.

HONEST ABOUT CERTAINTY
PlatePal is a screening tool, not a religious or medical ruling. Every verdict shows how sure it is. When data is missing, we say so, and we never show an unearned pass.

SAFETY FIRST, ALWAYS FREE
Allergen detection is never behind the paywall. If we cannot confirm a product is free of your allergen, we tell you loudly. We fail safe, every time.

FOUR CLEAR VERDICTS
Certified: a recognized certification mark is present.
Likely OK: nothing concerning found.
Concerns: something does not fit your requirements.
Insufficient Data: we cannot be sure, so we will not guess.

ORAL ALLERGY SYNDROME (OAS)
Optional caution profiles flag common pollen cross-reactive foods for birch, ragweed, and grass. Informational guidance, not a safety alert. Talk to your allergist.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No ads. No tracking. No account required. Your profile stays on your device.

MEET PAL
Your friendly plate companion reacts to each verdict, so you know at a glance.

FREE AND PREMIUM
Free includes 5 scans a day, compliance concerns, and allergen alerts, always. Premium adds unlimited scans, unlimited profile stacking, alternative product search, full history, and a custom avoid list.

PlatePal checks 3M+ products using data from Open Food Facts, USDA, and our own reviewed database. Always verify the label yourself, especially for allergens.

SUBSCRIPTION
PlatePal Premium is an auto renewing subscription with weekly, monthly, and annual plans. The annual plan includes a 3 day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when a subscription is purchased.

### 5/5 — Very useful

Very nice app. Especially appreciate the ability to be more/less strict on flagging ingredients. Makes it easy for beginner/semi-casual vegans, vegetarians, or pescatarians.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-08-25

Our biggest update since launch, and most of it is about getting more scans answered!

A MUCH BIGGER INGREDIENT DATABASE
We grew the ingredient database by 4x for concern-mapped entries, so far fewer scans come back as Insufficient Data.

BETTER LABEL READING
Ingredient lists that end in an FDA disclaimer, a factory address, or a nutrition panel could confuse the parser and drop real ingredients. Those labels now read correctly. Natural flavors no longer count against a product on their own at Moderate strictness, while Strict still flags them.

WHY THIS VERDICT
A new sheet on any result shows which ingredient drove the verdict, which of your requirements it affected, and how sure we are.

WHEN A LOOKUP FAILS, WE SAY SO
A network problem no longer looks like "product not found". Lookups now retry on their own, and you get a real Retry button instead of a dead end. Alternatives no longer claims a category is empty when the search itself failed.

ADD A MISSING BARCODE (fixed)
Snapped a label that had no barcode? You can attach the barcode later, and the product keeps its name, photo, history, and saved status.

FASTER SEARCH
Search loads the whole list in one pass instead of one request per row, so results stop stalling.

SMOOTHER TO USE
Swipe sheets away, pinch to zoom a product photo, and enjoy new animation throughout the app. If you prefer the old feel, turn it off in Settings, Experimental.

A NEW START
Setup now asks what you actually need help with, adds household members in one step, and shows you a real product verdict before asking anything else. No product handy? Try a sample.

VOTE ON WHAT IS NEXT
Settings, Roadmap lets you vote on the features we build next.

FIXES
Signing in on a second device could overwrite the allergen and diet choices already saved to your account. Fixed.
Clear all data now clears household members and every stored preference.
Performance and battery related bug fixes and improvements.
Rate PlatePal in Settings, About was a dead button. Fixed.
