Sift Food Labels
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 [email protected] if you have questions or suggestions.

Great app, very informative and if code doesn't work it recognizes the ingredients from picture. Easy to use and I recommend it if you want to know if what youre are consuming has questionable Ingredients.
This app is horrible. I am thankful I didn't pay for it yet. There were multiple items I scanned that didn't show up with the dairy indicator. It clearly showed dairy in the ingredients. I wanted this to make my shopping trip easier but I will stick to good old fashioned reading the labels and save my $20.
They give you 5 free scans before having to create a login. Grabbed the first five products from my pantry (not obscure items - all from Walmart) and it just gave me an error on each one. Someone it would not accept the picture of the barcode or a manual entering of the barcode number. Other times the barcode scan seemed to work but then it wanted a picture of the ingredients label which I kept receiving errors for. Never got to learn more about a single ingredient. Waste of time/effort.
Easy to use and has FODMAP diet, but doesn't have any diet customization options. For elimination diets it is important to be able to add/subtract items from the intolerance list as reactions are identified. I would love a custom diet option where I could start with an existing plan like FODMAP or Gluten-free and then specify additions or exceptions (or the ability to build my own extensive list of specific foods and chemicals).
My daughter strongly recommended this app. Downloaded and entered name, email, and password. Signed up. Then it told me to login. It tells me my credentials are not valid but won't let me sign in again. I'm locked out. Single star really isn't fair since I haven't even seen the app.
This app is amazing! my daughter and I enjoy using the app and she is only 4 years old! I'm trying my best to start early with grooming her and her brother to eat more healthily, and we are amazed at some of the foods we eat on a daily basis that are not good for us. She and I love it!
I loaded this app 2 times frist time i set it up with password an all sent me email conformation i was good. Go to log in an it wont take my password i tried more then once so i clicked forgot password and it said it sent me a email. No email did this more then once. If this is how the app works no thanks. I know my password was right as i write them down before i enter them. Will not let me set up a new account said it already exist. An wont send me a passcode to change the password
Very informative, very quick. Does the extra thinking for you when you don't have the time to research everything on your grocery list!
Learned new things. Like daily allowance of sugar and I was will over that limit... It has motivated me make some changes or least reduce my consumption. And scanning items is so easy.
Excellent fast and informative
Love it! It's exactly what I was looking for
Not sure right now, just started using this app. So far so good. Update... FYI, did not flag torula yeast. Gave me a nasty headache.
Recognized nothing in my kitchen. Good idea, but it should maybe do a bit more research prior.
This app is addictive
I'm having the same problem as most people who are writing reviews...It will not allow me to sign up.
Need more healthy stuff that we can scan
Quick and detailed way to highlight food ingredients and identify specific ingredients. Helping us at our house find gluten as well as processed ingredients
Won't let me log in once creating an account. Says invalid credentials
Wouldn't let me complete signing up or use as a guest.
OMG so good , I'm on keto this helps with finding the bad sugars and such
Brand new to it, but love all the info
Good why to shop for healthy food
Amazing! Thx for creating this app!
Not able to open
I really enjoy it..
Now i know whats safe to eat for my kids and i.
It's a wonderful app that has made choosing the right foods so much easier but it does still need some work.
Love the app. Very informative on who bans the ingredients and why. Wish I could also look up food and brands instead of being physically there to scan. It helps me plan my grocery list while not being in the grocery store. Like I could figure out pop tarts aren't the best thing to eat but find an alternative brand before going.
