Lactose Check - scan barcodes to check for lactose
Lactose Check helps you quickly get an overview of whether a food product may contain lactose - especially when you’re unsure.
By scanning the barcode, you can easily check products and make more informed choices if you want to eat lactose-free or avoid lactose in daily life.
The app makes it easy to make informed decisions - both when you’re shopping on your own and when you’re with others.
If you are lactose intolerant, sensitive to dairy products, or simply want more control over what you eat, Lactose Check is a practical tool - in the store, at home, or on the go.
FAST AND SIMPLE BARCODE SCANNING
With Lactose Check, you can use your phone’s camera as a barcode scanner.
Scan the barcode on a food package or enter it manually, and the app analyses the available product data for you.
The app works as a quick lactose check when grocery shopping, eating out, or finding yourself in a social situation where you’re unsure what you can tolerate.
It’s also easy to use for family and friends who want to be considerate but may not be used to choosing lactose-free products. This way, anyone can help make a more informed food choice.
CLEAR AND EASY-TO-UNDERSTAND RESULTS
Results are presented with clear visual indicators, so you can quickly see whether a product appears to contain lactose - even when others are using the app to help you.
If the information is incomplete or uncertain, this is clearly indicated so you can take it into account in your assessment.
Indicator guide:
• ✅ Green - The product appears to be lactose-free based on the available product information.
• ⚠️ Yellow (Warning) - The available product information does not make it clear if the product contains lactose or not.
• 🛑 Red - The product appears to contain lactose based on the available product information.
This gives you a quick and transparent basis for making a more confident choice.
If a scanned product cannot be found, the message “Product not found” is shown.
You then have the option to help add the product to the database.
This way, you’re not only helping yourself for next time - but also other users who encounter the same product. We appreciate your contribution.
