Hey Product Hunt

I'm Maliik, solo founder behind Nibble. Today is the official launch and I've been waiting 8 months to say that.

I started building Nibble after a drug I was taking got flagged in an FDA safety communication weeks before I had a side effect. The information was public. I just never saw it. Most people don't.

Nibble monitors 30+ government agencies across 13 countries and matches every recall against your household profiles. Allergens, medications, dietary needs, pets, vehicles. Push notifications, email digests, scan barcodes for products you've already bought. Free on web and Android.

Shipped a feature called Banned Elsewhere on Nibble (food and drug recall alerts across 13 countries) last week. The pitch: when you open a recall and it mentions an ingredient that's been banned, restricted, or warning-labeled by a foreign regulator, you see a card with the cross-jurisdiction story. Red Dye 3 banned in the EU since 1994. Brominated vegetable oil banned in the UK since 2008. Potassium bromate banned in Canada and Australia in the early 90s. Still permitted in the US.

The first version was wrong in an interesting way.

We pull recall data from 41 government sources across 13 countries.

The single biggest cause of food recalls isn't bacteria, metal fragments, or pesticides. It's undeclared allergens. Mislabeled ingredients. A factory that processes peanuts on the same line as "peanut-free" granola bars and doesn't update the packaging. 45% of all food recalls come down to someone not listing what's actually in the product.

Since sesame was added as a major allergen under the FASTER Act in 2023, there's been a new wave of these. Manufacturers are still catching up on labels and sourcing three years later.

The thing that gets me is how invisible this is. If you don't have allergies, you'll never hear about these recalls. They don't make the news. But for the families who rely on those labels, each one is a near-miss.
