One app that checks any food, drink or menu against everything you avoid, shows what suits you at your supermarket, finds recipes and a weekly plan that fit, and keeps a diary of what sits well with you.
Every feature, free for everyone. Nothing to unlock, ever.

Four things it does, together
Most apps do one of these. TrustCrumb does all four, and they talk to each other: what you learn in the diary changes every check, every item at the shop and every recipe.
Check anything against your needs
Scan a barcode, photograph a label, or search by name. TrustCrumb reads the ingredients against everything you avoid and gives one clear row per selection, with the ingredient or amount that decided it. Eating out? Photograph the menu and get an answer for each dish.
Not a fixed allergen list: add your own items, in your own words
Works on a restaurant menu, not just packaged food
Asks one yes/no question when a label is unclear, rather than guessing

What suits you at the shop
Pick your supermarket and browse real, named products, each one screened against your selections before it reaches the list. Items are grouped by aisle, so the list follows the order you'd walk the shop. When a check goes against you, ask for a swap and get something from the same shelf that came back clear on everything you avoid.

A diary of what sat well, and what didn't
Note what you had and how you felt. Over time it shows which foods and drinks suit you. Mark something to avoid and it shows as not safe in every check from then on, and recipes that use it are no longer suggested. A diary that changes what the rest of the app tells you, not a list you keep on the side.
A meal, a drink or a snack: all count
Spot patterns, especially while testing foods one at a time
Avoid an item and every check and recipe knows, or just keep an eye on it

Not here to police your plate
Three decisions shape everything TrustCrumb does.
One answer per selection
Never a single merged verdict. Everything you avoid gets its own traffic light and a plain-language reason.
It asks before it guesses
When a label is unclear, like a “may contain milk” line or a shared bakery, TrustCrumb asks one yes/no question instead of guessing.
No judgement, ever
Not a calorie counter, and not here to change how you eat. TrustCrumb supports whatever you have chosen to eat or avoid, and never second-guesses a selection, a meal or a craving.
How it compares
Most food apps do one part of this, and charge for the good bits. TrustCrumb does the lot, and charges for none of it.

Three steps, then you're set
Set your selections once; every check, every shop item, every recipe and the plan uses them.
1
Set what you avoid
Pick your preferences: vegan, gluten-free, low sodium, keto and more. Change them any time.
2
Check, shop, cook
Check a label or a menu, see what suits you at your supermarket, pick a recipe that fits, or let the app plan your week. Everything is judged against the same selections.
3
Keep a diary
Note what you had and how you felt. Anything you mark to avoid shows as not safe in every check from then on.
TrustCrumb helps you decide; it doesn't decide for you
Every verdict is guidance based on the label information available, not medical advice. Ingredients and manufacturing change, labels can be wrong, and only you know your own tolerances. Always read the packaging yourself and decide based on your own knowledge and needs. See our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.
Shop and eat with a little less worry.
Free to download, free to use, free to keep using. Tell it what you avoid and check your first label in under a minute.
