No internet needed. AllergyLens instantly scans food ingredient labels and flags allergens that are dangerous to you — all in real time, right on your device. POINT. SCAN. KNOW. Point your camera at any ingredient list on food packaging. AllergyLens reads the text using advanced on-device OCR, then intelligently matches every ingredient against your personal allergen profile. Results appear in seconds with clear DANGER, WARNING, or SAFE indicators. HOW IT WORKS - Open the scanner and point your camera at an ingredient list - AllergyLens reads and parses every ingredient using Apple Vision OCR - A 4-stage allergen matching engine checks each ingredient against your profile - Instant results with color-coded severity: red for danger, amber for warnings, green for safe - Haptic and sound alerts warn you immediately when allergens are detected SMART ALLERGEN MATCHING AllergyLens goes beyond simple keyword search. The matching engine uses four stages of detection: — Direct match: catches exact allergen names — Derivative match: recognizes alternative names and derivatives (e.g., casein → dairy, edamame → soy) — Fuzzy match: catches OCR typos and misspellings using Levenshtein distance analysis — Semantic match: uses Apple's NLP word embeddings to find conceptually related ingredients 15 ALLERGEN CATEGORIES BUILT IN Peanuts, Tree Nuts, Milk/Dairy, Eggs, Wheat, Soy, Gluten, Shellfish, Fish, Sesame, Mustard, Celery, Lupin, Mollusks, and Sulfites — covering FDA, EU, and international allergen regulations. Over 400 ingredient aliases included. ADD YOUR OWN Have a rare or uncommon allergy? Add unlimited custom allergens with free-text matching. AllergyLens scans for those too. THREE SENSITIVITY LEVELS — Low: only exact matches, best for mild sensitivities — Medium: exact plus fuzzy matching, catches common misspellings — Strict: all matching stages including semantic analysis. Maximum safety. SCAN FROM PHOTOS TOO Can't point the camera? Import any photo of an ingredient label from your photo library. SAFETY FEATURES — Haptic vibration alerts when allergens are detected — Sound alerts with distinct tones for danger vs. warning — Emergency contact: store a contact and call them with one tap — Share scan results with caregivers, parents, or dining companions SCAN HISTORY & STATS Every scan is saved with full ingredient breakdown. Review past scans, see weekly statistics, and track how many alerts you've received. 100% PRIVATE. 100% ON-DEVICE. AllergyLens makes zero network calls. All OCR, text processing, and allergen matching happens entirely on your iPhone using Apple's built-in Vision and NaturalLanguage frameworks. Your ingredient data never leaves your device. No accounts. No cloud. No tracking. AllergyLens was built for people with food allergies, parents of children with allergies, caregivers, and anyone who needs to check ingredient labels quickly and reliably. It's the food scanner that could save a life. ## Rankings - #836,557 — Overall ## Similar extensions and apps - [FoodLens - Ingredient Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6760887238) - [AllergyLens-Ingredient Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6768857395) - [FoodLens AI](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6744621676) — 5.00 / 5 - [NutraLens: Allergy Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6757131171) - [Food Allergen Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6738454688) — 5.00 / 5 - [Food Allergen Identifier](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6755325500) - [Food Allergy Ally](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6760678252) — 5.00 / 5 - [SafeScan: Food Allergy Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6767189799) - [SafeBite: Allergen Scanner](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6780995869) - [Allergy AI](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6751544110) - [EatSurely AI](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6762105115) — 5.00 / 5 - [AllergenFinder](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6755129628) --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6763706223)
