You can declare, in free text, the substances you're allergic or intolerant to: an AI interprets them and the app tries to exclude them from scanner results, recipes, and products. This is a best-effort aid to reduce risk, not a safety guarantee: the underlying ingredient and product data isn't clinically validated allergen by allergen, and your declaration may be interpreted inaccurately.
