About this app

MealGuard keeps you safe at every meal - whether you're shopping, cooking, or dining abroad.

🔍 SCAN ANY FOOD PRODUCT
Point your camera at a barcode or photograph an ingredients list. MealGuard instantly checks against your personal avoid list and alerts you to anything unsafe - allergens, intolerances, or foods you'd rather skip.

📋 YOUR PERSONAL AVOID LIST
Set up your profile once. Organise everything by severity:
🔴 Red - allergies (potentially life-threatening)
🟠 Orange - intolerances (causes discomfort)
🟡 Yellow - dislikes (personal preference)

Covers all 14 EU regulated allergens plus common intolerances and custom items you define yourself. Whether it's gluten, dairy, nuts, peanuts, shellfish, soy, eggs, celiac disease, coeliac disease, or any other trigger - add it once and scan with confidence. No limits.

🪪 ALLERGY CARD & RESTAURANT MODE
Your personal allergy card app, always in your pocket. The allergy card gives you a clean colour-coded overview of everything you cannot eat. Restaurant mode transforms it into a restaurant allergy card - a clear, full-screen message designed to be read across a counter by a waiter or chef.
Both are available in your device language for free. Upgrade to switch to any of 20 languages on demand - making MealGuard the travel allergy card app for anyone eating abroad.

📷 OCR INGREDIENT SCANNER
No barcode? No problem. Photograph any ingredients list - on loose bakery items, restaurant menus, or food labels - and MealGuard reads and checks it for you. Offline ingredient scanner - works without internet, no data sent to any server.

✈️ TRAVEL WITH CONFIDENCE
Eating out in a foreign country? Hand your phone to the waiter with your multilingual allergy card translated into the local language. No language barrier, no miscommunication - just safe dining wherever you go. Your travel allergy card, ready in 20 languages.

🔒 PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your data stays on your device. No account required. No data shared or sold.

♿ ACCESSIBLE FOR EVERYONE
