Reference information only, not a safety guarantee or medical advice. Always read the physical label, consider cross-contact, and follow manufacturer clarification and your clinician’s advice.

- Does a favorable result mean food is safe for me?
- No. Information may be incomplete or outdated. Physical labels, manufacturer clarification, and medical advice take precedence.
- Does a nutrition score measure allergy risk?
- No. A nutrition rating cannot determine whether your particular allergen is present.
- What if the scan and package disagree?
- Do not rely on the scan. Review the actual label and contact the manufacturer before deciding whether to eat.
- Does the app replace my allergy plan?
- No. It does not diagnose allergies or manage emergencies. Some features may require payment; check current access in the app.
