How it works

Three steps to safer shopping

Set it once, then scan with confidence anywhere you shop.

1

Set your allergens

Pick what you react to during a 30-second setup, then set how strict each one is. A “may contain” warning can count as unsafe, or just as a caution.

2

Scan any product

Point at a barcode, or snap a photo of the ingredients label. Savo reads it for you.

3

Know instantly

A clear safe, caution or avoid verdict, checked against your profile and translated to your language.

Barcode scan

Millions of products from the open food database.

Label reader

Snap the ingredients list on any pack and Savo checks every line.

Any language

Foreign labels translated and checked automatically.

Allergy card

Hand your phone to the waiter.

Savo turns your allergens into a card in 13 languages. It does not only name what you avoid, it says how strictly: which allergens must not be in the food at all, and which are fine when the only mention is a printed "may contain" warning.

Open it and it fills the screen at full brightness and stops the display dimming, because it is about to be read by somebody else.

The card says what you told Savo, in the local language. It is there to be understood, not to promise what happens in the kitchen.

Recall alerts

If it's recalled, you'll know.

Sometimes an allergen isn't declared, or a batch is mislabelled or contaminated. When that happens, the product is officially recalled. Savo remembers everything you've scanned and checks those recall notices, so if something in your cupboard is affected, you get an alert.

What people are saying

★★★★★

"Although I read the labels I have been known to miss allergens due to the fact they are not in bold... Well worth the subscription fee."

Really useful

"...hidden allergens in ingredients such as maltodextrin and glucose-fructose syrup which are not labelled as corn derived."

Handy app, and a really responsive developer

Really helpful app

"I have an allergy to pineapple, it's something that is being added to foods more regularly and is something that isn't really thought about... an app that is going to make life a little easier at a glance."

Great app!
