## What is SafeIntake?

SafeIntake helps you shop with confidence when food matters most.

Scan any food barcode to instantly see what's inside — allergens, sugar, additives, and a clear safety verdict tailored to your dietary needs.

WHO IT'S FOR
• People with food allergies (peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish, shellfish, sesame, soy)
• Gluten-intolerant and celiac shoppers
• Dairy- and lactose-intolerant consumers
• Pre-diabetic and low-sugar dieters monitoring carbs
• Anyone who wants to know what's really in their food

HOW IT WORKS
1. Open the app and point your camera at a barcode
2. SafeIntake fetches the product instantly
3. See a clear SAFE / CAUTION / UNSAFE verdict based on YOUR diet
4. Drill into ingredient details, sugar levels, additives, and a 0–100 health score

WHAT IT CHECKS
• 13 allergens — gluten, dairy, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish, shellfish, sesame, mustard, celery, lupin, sulfites
• Sugar and carbohydrate content with adjustable sensitivity (strict / moderate / relaxed)
• Fiber-to-carb ratio for glycemic awareness
• E-number additives flagged by risk level
• Nutri-Score, NOVA processing level, Eco-Score
• Certification labels (Organic, Vegan, Gluten-Free, etc.)

PERSONALIZED FOR YOU
Choose which allergens to track in Settings. Set your sugar sensitivity. SafeIntake adapts every safety check to YOUR diet — no generic warnings, just what matters to you.

PRIVACY-FIRST

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-06-25

This is a major update — a fresh new look and much smarter, more honest safety checks. (iOS is catching up to everything we've shipped since launch.)

A FRESH LOOK
• New app icon and refreshed branding
• Food photography across the app
• Cleaner headers and a redesigned bottom navigation bar — the Scan button is now front-and-center for easy one-handed scanning
• Dark mode refinements throughout

SMARTER, MORE HONEST VERDICTS
• When a product can't be fully checked (missing or non-English ingredient info), SafeIntake now clearly says it "can't verify" instead of a misleading SAFE
• Plant milks (almond, oat, soy) are no longer mistaken for dairy
• Foods like olive oil and cheese are no longer falsely flagged over sugar or fiber
• Wider allergen detection — more sulfite, fish, shellfish, and oat/gluten variations caught
• Better handling of non-English labels

FIXES & POLISH
• Product photos now load more reliably
• Fixed an unreadable Settings header
• Performance and stability improvements

Thanks for using SafeIntake!

### 1.0 — 2026-04-28
