Instant 0–100 safety score. Red, yellow, or green. Dyes flagged. Allergens caught. Sugar checked against your child's age limit.
Everything hiding on the label.
The stuff you'd miss unless you had a chemistry degree and 20 minutes per product.
Synthetic food dyes
Linked to hyperactivity, allergic reactions, and behavioral issues in children. We detect all 7 FDA-tracked dyes in every scan.
15+ allergens detected
Milk, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, sesame, shellfish, and more. Set your child's allergies once — every scan checks automatically.
Age-specific sugar limits
A "low sugar" bar can be 100% of a toddler's daily limit. We check sugar against pediatric guidelines for your child's exact age group.
FDA recall alerts
If a product has been recalled for contamination, mislabeling, or safety issues — you'll know before it goes in the cart. Real-time data, classified by severity.

Built for families, not individuals
Other scanners give you a generic score. Snack Check gives you a score for each child. Because what's fine for your 8-year-old might not be fine for your 2-year-old.
Multiple profiles. Different ages. Different allergies. One scan tells you everything.
Red. Yellow. Green. No guessing.
Every product gets a 0–100 safety score so you can decide in seconds, not minutes.
