LabelSleuth

LabelSleuth is a mobile AI app that helps gluten-free shoppers make faster, safer decisions in the grocery aisle. You scan a barcode or snap a photo of the ingredient list, and it returns a clear risk rating: Safe, Likely Safe, Unclear, or Avoid—plus the exact ingredient(s) that triggered the result (e.g., malt extract, brewer’s yeast, “natural flavors” with unknown source). It also stores your personal sensitivity profile (celiac vs. non-celiac, oats allowed, cross-contact tolerance) and flags products that are technically gluten-free but high cross-contamination risk based on facility statements and brand history. The app includes a lightweight “trusted products” list you can build over time and share with family. This is not magic: it won’t replace manufacturer confirmation, but it will reduce label-reading fatigue and prevent obvious mistakes.
