  INSTANT NUTRITION ANALYSIS
  Sift estimates nutrition for every dish including:
  • Calories and macros (protein, carbs, fat)
  • Cooking methods (fried, grilled, baked)
  • Allergen flags (dairy, gluten, nuts, etc.)
  • Ingredient detection
  • Health scores tailored to your goals

  PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN

  IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
  Sift provides nutrition estimates based on OCR and heuristic models. Estimates may be incomplete or inaccurate. Always verify allergen
  information and nutrition details with restaurant staff before ordering, especially if you have food allergies or medical dietary
