SubSwapScan

SubSwapScan is a mobile + web AI app that helps cooks and small food businesses replace animal-based or allergen ingredients with plant-based substitutes that match function, not just ideology. You scan a recipe (photo, PDF, or text) or a product ingredient list, then choose constraints: vegan, soy-free, gluten-free, low FODMAP, budget, and availability at your local stores. The app outputs ranked substitutes with functional notes (binding, emulsifying, browning, melt, sweetness, moisture), conversion ratios, and “watch-outs” (taste shifts, texture risks). It also generates a revised recipe and a shopping list mapped to real products (e.g., specific oat creams, aquafaba brands). It’s not a magic chef—results are probabilistic—so it includes confidence scores and quick test suggestions (small-batch trial steps) to reduce wasted time and ingredients.
