Ingredient & label checker
Scan any food or beauty product for a clear 0–100 score, flagged ingredients, decoded label claims, and a better pick. Free, unlimited scanning.
Know what's really in it.
Sift scans any food or personal care product and tells you, in plain language, what's inside and whether it's worth buying. One clear 0–100 score. Flagged ingredients explained. Label claims decoded. A better alternative when there is one. No chemistry degree required.
SCAN ANYTHING
Point your camera at a barcode or snap a photo of the packaging. Granola, shampoo, cooking oil, moisturizer, canned tuna, baby wash. If it has an ingredient list, Sift can read it.
ONE SCORE YOU CAN TRUST
Every product gets a single 0–100 score with the reasoning laid out underneath. Excellent, Good, Fair, or Poor, built from flagged ingredients, label authenticity, nutrition data, sourcing, and category-specific risks. You always see why a product scored the way it did.
INGREDIENTS, EXPLAINED
Sift covers 10,000+ ingredients. Each flagged ingredient shows its concern level (low, moderate, high), how strong the evidence is (established vs. emerging), what it may do, and which health areas it touches. Not a scary list of chemical names, an actual explanation.
LABELS, DECODED
Is that seal real or just marketing? Sift sorts 176 labels and claims into four tiers: independently certified, government regulated, program-based, or pure marketing. A USDA Organic seal and a "natural" sticker are not the same thing, and Sift tells you which is which.
HIDDEN RISKS
Some of the biggest concerns never show up on the ingredient list. Sift flags manufacturing contaminants like 1,4-dioxane in personal care, mercury levels across 24 fish species, and heat stability across 32 cooking oils.
BETTER ALTERNATIVES
A low score is only useful if you know what to buy instead. Sift shows higher-scoring products in the same category so you can upgrade your cart, not just walk away from it.
YOUR FOCUS AREAS
Choose the health topics that matter to you, such as gut health, hormone balance, or pregnancy and development, and Sift surfaces the ingredient concerns relevant to those areas first on every product page.
