Scan a barcode. See the gluten, allergens, seed oils and additives inside.
Read full description
Sifto is a food scanner and ingredient checker. Scan the barcode on a packet and Sifto reads the label against published rules - then shows you the rule it applied, with the authority, the section number, and a link to read it yourself.
NO BLACK-BOX GRADES
There is no score out of 100 in this app. No letter. No coloured ring. Every other ingredient checker hands down a verdict and leaves you to trust it; Sifto hands you a count of what it flagged, split into two plain groups - above a published threshold, and present in the ingredients - and every single flag opens the rule behind it.
WHAT A SCAN TELLS YOU
- Gluten-source ingredients, against the FDA gluten-free labelling rule
- The nine major allergens the United States requires on a label
- Seed oils, food dyes, E-numbers and other additives, by name
- Sodium, saturated fat and added sugars against the FDA Daily Values
- The full ingredient list, exactly as printed, with your own matches highlighted
THE NINE MAJOR ALLERGENS ARE ALWAYS ON
Milk, egg, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans and sesame are checked on every scan, on every tier, forever. They are not a paid feature and they never will be. We never say safe. Check the physical label.
BUILT FOR THE AISLE
Point, scan, read. A product you have scanned before opens again on a phone with no bars, so the chest-freezer aisle is not a problem. Your shelf remembers what you bought, and the second shop is twice as fast as the first.
NO BARCODE? PHOTOGRAPH THE PANEL
When Sifto does not have a product yet, point the camera at the ingredient list and the Nutrition Facts box. Sifto reads the printed panel and applies the same cited rules to it, so you get the same report with the same citations. It reads labels - it does not guess at a plate of food, because a cooked meal has no ingredient list to check a rule against. Two label photos a day on the free tier, ten on Pro.
YOUR LIST, NOT A GENERIC ONE
Tell Sifto what you avoid - gluten, dairy, seed oils, colours and dyes, added sugar, sodium - and the report highlights your matches in the ingredient text. Nothing you set ever leaves your phone.
SIFTO PRO
- Unlimited scans, for a full shop rather than a spot check
- Every filter group at once, plus your own ingredient watchlist
- Your whole shelf, saved lists per store, and export
- Compare two products on one named rule
Pro costs $9.99 monthly, or $49.99 for the year. That is the only paid tier Sifto has and the only one it will ever have - nothing above it, nothing held back for a higher price. The five free scans a day return the full report every time, so you can see exactly what you would be paying for before you pay for it. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
Sifto reports what published rules say about a product. It does not give health, dietary or medical advice, and it never issues a verdict on a product.
