Know what's in every bite. Scan a barcode or snap a photo of any food label, and SafePlate reads the ingredient list and instantly highlights anything that matches your family's allergen profiles — including hidden synonyms like "hydrolyzed soy protein" and "sodium caseinate" that are easy to miss. Built for families juggling milk, peanut, gluten, and 11 more allergens across kids and adults — each person gets their own profile. WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE SAFEPLATE • Honest by design — when a label is blurry or a product isn't in the database, SafePlate tells you it couldn't verify, instead of showing a false all-clear. • Reads hidden allergen synonyms that are easy to miss on a busy label. • A profile for every family member, with the severity tier you assign. • Scans barcodes, printed labels, and restaurant menus. • Plate Intel — per-item allergen intel from a plate photo. IMPORTANT — please read SafePlate is an informational tool, not a medical device, and is not FDA cleared. SafePlate reads INGREDIENT TEXT only — it does NOT verify cooking temperature, doneness, hygiene, cross-contamination, expiration, or storage. You are responsible for cooking to a safe internal temperature, safe food-handling, and verifying freshness. Allergen highlights are not a guarantee of safety; always confirm with the manufacturer's label. In an emergency, call 911 — SafePlate does not call emergency services on your behalf. WHAT'S IN THE APP Per-profile allergen lists • Add a profile for each family member with their own allergen list and the severity tier you assign yourself (mild, moderate, severe, life-threatening). • 14 allergen categories: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, sesame, mustard, celery, lupin, mollusks, sulfites — plus custom user-defined ingredients you'd like to avoid. Beyond allergens — your own ingredient lists • Optional built-in lists for eating patterns you may choose to follow: gluten-free, low-FODMAP, low-glycemic, low-sugar, low-acid, and lactose-free — plus fully custom lists for any ingredient you want to avoid. • Turn any list on per profile and SafePlate highlights matches the same way it does for allergens. It does not recommend or endorse any eating pattern — you decide. Three ways to scan • Barcode lookup against the public Open Food Facts and USDA FoodData Central databases. • Photograph an ingredient label — on-device AI reads the printed text. • Photograph a restaurant menu or plated dish — the app extracts visible text you can review. More tools • Color-coded ingredient summary highlighting any configured matches. • Cooking-temperature and food-handling reminders when meat, poultry, or seafood is scanned (informational only). • Reaction Journal — log a date, food, severity tier, and a photo for your own records. • Allergy cards in 11 languages with a QR code, for handing to a server. • Meal Planner — recipe ideas that avoid any ingredient on your family profiles. • Nearby-restaurant map with allergen tags and notes from other families. Always call ahead to confirm. • Reminders for auto-injector expiration dates you log, and alerts when the public OpenFDA or USDA FSIS feeds post a Class I recall affecting your scan history. • Siri shortcuts, Spotlight search, and full VoiceOver support. PRICING Free: 5 scans per month, 1 family profile, all the personal-reminder features. SafePlate PRO: $6.99/month or $49.99/year — unlimited scans, unlimited profiles, recall feed access, full meal planner, ingredient explanations. 7-day free trial.

Improved subscription reliability and clearer pricing. ### 1.4.0 — 2026-06-13 SafePlate 1.4.0 — One scan, the whole family. WHOLE-FAMILY SCANNING • Family chips on every result — see at a glance how the same product checks out for each family member, not just the child you scanned for. • Switch family members right from the scan header. • The selected member now stays selected across launches. SMARTER LABEL READING • If even one line of a label photo reads poorly, SafePlate now says "couldn't verify" instead of risking a wrong all-clear — and gives you a Retake Photo button. • Ambiguous additives E322 (lecithin) and E471 (mono- and diglycerides) now surface as "may contain" for soy, egg, and dairy profiles. CLEARER, FAIRER • Feel the result — distinct haptics for clear, caution, and flagged results. • VoiceOver reads the verdict as one clean utterance; the verdict headline now scales with your text size. • Your free-scan counter shows exactly when it renews, and running out no longer blocks the whole Scan tab. • Trial end date shown up front; reinstalling no longer resets your scan count. • Restore Purchases now tells you the outcome, and you can revisit your AI photo-analysis choice anytime in Profile. If SafePlate helps your family, a review helps another family find it. ### 1.3.1 — 2026-06-12 SafePlate 1.3.1 — Smarter label reading, clearer answers. IMPROVED SCANNING • "May contain" statements are handled more carefully — explicit ingredient declarations are always shown as such, even when advisory wording appears elsewhere on the label. • Labels in languages SafePlate can't read yet now say so clearly, instead of appearing clear. • Custom allergens now skip documented-safe contexts (e.g. a custom "milk" entry no longer flags almond milk). • SafePlate now recognizes many more ingredient names, including E-number sulfites (E220–E228), albumen, panko, satay, and compound foods like pesto and frangipane across all their typical ingredients. PLATE INTEL • Items the camera isn't sure about are now marked "Verify" instead of appearing clear. • Result cards tell you when AI read the label from your photo, so you always know where the information came from. CLEARER RESULTS • Unreadable label photos now explain what went wrong and how to retake the shot. SAFEPLATE PRO • One simple PRO plan now includes the AI Family Meal Planner and Safe Recipe Discovery, alongside everything else. If SafePlate has helped your family, please leave a review — every rating helps another family find the app. ### 1.3.0 — 2026-06-04 NEW — Plate Intel: point your camera at a plate, bowl, or spread and SafePlate identifies each food it sees, then checks every item against your family's allergy profiles. You get a per-item breakdown, a health index, estimated calories, and a clear heads-up on the ingredients worth a closer look. Plus our biggest accuracy update yet — the scan engine was rebuilt from the ground up: • Smarter matching: SafePlate now reads whole words, so "cocoa butter" is no longer mistaken for dairy and "peanut-free" no longer trips the peanut flag. • Honest by design: when a label is blurry or a product isn't in the database, SafePlate clearly tells you it couldn't verify — instead of showing a false all-clear. • Reads labels in 5 languages: English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian allergen terms. • Catches more hidden synonyms across milk, egg, soy, gluten, and tree-nut ingredients. • Cooking-temperature and food-handling reminders when you scan meat, poultry, or seafood (informational only). • Clearer results with a data-confidence and "last updated" label, so you can see how fresh each lookup is. • You're in control: AI photo scanning is opt-in, photos aren't stored after a scan, and you can keep scanning fully on your device.
