Point your camera at any ingredient list: food, menus, skincare, supplements, or handwritten labels. Peelback reads every ingredient, scores it 0-100, flags what's banned in other countries, and checks it against your allergens. No barcode required. WHY PEELBACK IS DIFFERENT Unlike barcode scanners, Peelback uses AI vision to read any ingredient list from any surface. A restaurant menu. A farmer's market sign. An imported product. A supplement bottle. If it has ingredients, Peelback can read it. See which ingredients are banned or require warning labels in the EU, UK, Canada, Japan, and other countries, with the specific reason why. EVIDENCE-BASED RATINGS Tired of scanners saying "avoid this" without explaining why? Tap any ingredient to see its Evidence Report: the concern explained, evidence quality (Strong, Moderate, or Preliminary), and where it's approved, restricted, or banned worldwide. No fearmongering, just science. PERSONALIZED FOR YOU Set up your profile with allergens and dietary preferences. Peelback tells you what matters for YOU. If you're allergic to peanuts, it flags them instantly, even when buried in a long ingredient list. FAMILY SAFETY CHECK Create profiles for each family member with their unique allergens and dietary needs. Scan once and see safety for everyone at a glance. No need to switch profiles or scan multiple times. HEALTH SCORES Get a 0-100 score broken down into three pillars: Nutritional Quality, Additives Risk, and Processing Level. See exactly why a product scored the way it did, including when scores are capped due to harmful additives. HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVES Scan something unhealthy and compare it side-by-side with alternatives. See score differences, ingredient counts, and key changes highlighted. Real product suggestions, not "eat an apple instead." CONTAMINANT WARNINGS Peelback goes beyond the ingredient list. Where research exists, we flag concerns like glyphosate in non-organic grains, heavy metals in certain foods, and contaminants that don't appear on labels. HOW IT WORKS 1.
