About Sift Food Labels

Your health shouldn't be a guessing game so let us navigate the sneaky label system for you.

Just scan the barcode of any food product and Sift Food Labels will translate the ingredients into easy-to-understand terms. No guesswork.

- Barcode scanning: over 400,000 foods are in our database.

- Translated ingredients: ingredients meant to trick you are translated into simple, easy-to understand terms.

- Flagged ingredients: Our food regulation laws aren't as strict as you might think and many ingredients used freely here are banned in other countries due to the serious health risk they pose. We'll flag these common ingredients for you.

- Lifestyle Support: We know how difficult it can be to eat healthy so we'll highlight foods with ingredients that are compliant with your needs. We currently offer support for the following lifestyles - Dairy Free, Gluten Free, No Added Sugar, Paleo, Vegan, Whole30.

Why is the transparency of our food labels so important?
- Food labels are complicated and often designed to trick you.
- Over 3,000 additives are approved for use in our foods.
- There are more than 60 different words used for sugar on our food labels.
- 80% of the foods in your pantry are likely to contain ingredients banned in other countries due to the serious health risks they pose.

We don’t care if you’re gluten free or a carbaholic, whether you’re dairy free or eat ice cream every night. Honestly, no judgement here. But we do believe that you should have access to honest information so that you are able to make an informed decision.

We appreciate feedback. Please email us at hello@siftfoodlabels.com if you have questions or suggestions.

I scanned over 10 common items in my kitchen. Nothing was recognized in the database...moving on to other aps. It was a great idea. I wish you the best of luck

I've scanned in a bunch of different products around my house and none if it is in their database. And my pantry is not odd food products either. What foods are in the database?

i only used this a about 3 times so far..just with the free app and on a few things around the house...i love it so far...i am allergic to dairy and also lactose intolerant..found some lactic acid in something i drink and had been wondering why i was having some minor issues..i carry an epipen and cannot afford to take chances..i am also hypothyroid and trying to avoid soy...is there a price for all or do we have to purchase all separately if we wanted the other groups also..

Y70%
by Y####:

So far it's good, scanned a few things in the fridge for reference. Question though... I'm going to start the whole30, so I wasn't sure which diet I should buy? Would it be the whole food diet one? Or do I need a combo of the others? I feel silly for asking. TIA!

Nice application, finally we got to know what we eat.

Overall great app! After using it for two months, I shared it with my sister and niece. I would like to make suggestion to the developers: please add a feature that would allow users to snap a photo of a food lable when a scanned bar code is not in the database for the purpose of aiding developers in adding that food and accurate information to the database. Also all the duplicate foods in the database with widely varying and often inaccurate data that have been added by users needs to be denoted as user added (something like an asterisk preceding the info) so other users know that the information is not as accurate as may be presumed. Thanks for the great tool!

Not too long ago I wrote a review regarding issues with signing in because I don't have a Facebook account. They reached out to me through email and said the problem will be resolved soon without having the option to sign in with fb. I was so surprised...they're friggin amazing!!!!!!!! I 100% recommend using this app????. I can't wait to tell all my friends to use it.

I just tried to send them an email "so I just paid for a gluten free diet and when I scan items nothing ever comes up it says it not in your database ...ummm milk, butter, cheese, peanut butter why would none of those things be in the database??? what a waste" and not only does nothing come up in the database but there's an "error" trying to send the msg...this app is a joke

Downloaded and installed. Chose use without facebook and the app closed. Tried to reopen app and it simply closed. I Uninstalled and reinstalled app and it does the same thing.

D70%
by D####:

Before having a child I honestly paid very little attention to the ingredients in my food! When my son was born, I wanted to make more educated decisions about what we eat. This app has been a game changer. I love that sift will flag ingredients that are banned in other countries and linked to conditions such as attention deficit disorders. I've been scanning my son's food for months and not only has it helped me make better choices for him, but it has inspired me to make healthier choices for me as well!

U70%
by U####:

Choose to continue without Facebook and all I get is a black screen for a few seconds and the app closes itself every time.

V70%
by V####:

Simplifies food decisions and helps with healthier choices

G70%
by G####:

Takes the guess work out of attempting to read through food labels. The free version is great but if you are feeling lazy you can also pay $0.99 for certain popular diets (paleo, sugar free, gluten, whole 30 etc) and it will automatically tell you if the scanned food meets requirment of each. Well worth the $ if you are going to use it alot. I also like the flagging of ingredients banned in other countries such as EU where the food regulations are stricter.

U70%
by U####:

I love how this app will translate ingredients for me so I know what I'm putting in my body. Seeing sugars be defined as sugars has been the most helpful as I try to eat fairly sugar free. And flagging dangerous ingredients, WOW - and scary - to see what's in our food.
